Betalains: colours for human health
Natural Product Research, 2022In the last years, the use of natural phytochemical compounds as protective agents in the prevention and treatment of obesity and the related-metabolic syndrome has gained much attention worldwide. Different studies have shown health benefits for many vegetables such Opuntia ficus-indica and Beta vulgaris and their pigments collectively referred as ...

Betalains from Christmas cactus
Phytochemistry, 2000The presence of 14 betalain pigments have been detected by their characteristic spectral properties in flower petals of Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera x buckleyi). Along with the known vulgaxanthin I, betalamic acid, betanin and phyllocactin (6'-O-malonylbetanin), the structure of a new phyllocactin-derived betacyanin was elucidated by various ...

The betalains of yellow, orange and red inflorescences of common cockscomb (Celosia argentea var. cristata) were compared and proved to be qualitatively identical to those of feathered amaranth (Celosia argentea var. plumosa). In addition to the known compounds amaranthin and betalamic acid, the structures of three yellow pigments were elucidated to be

Red beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) is a great source of betalains. The main betalains are the betacyanins, responsible for the purple color, and betaxanthins, which present a brownish color. These pigments can present antioxidant activity and are very unstable under certain conditions, such as temperature, extreme ranges of pH, and exposure to light.

Betalains in practical medicine
Pacific Medical Journal, 2023Betalains are plant pigments synthesized in the cells of Caryophyllales (red beets, opuntia, etc.). They are involved in the inactivation of reactive oxygen species and free radicals. The paper summarizes the data on the physical-chemical and pharmacological properties of betalains.

Plant betalains: Chemistry and biochemistry
Phytochemistry, 2015Betalains are vacuolar pigments composed of a nitrogenous core structure, betalamic acid [4-(2-oxoethylidene)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid]. Betalamic acid condenses with imino compounds (cyclo-l-3,4-dihydroxy-phenylalanine/its glucosyl derivatives), or amino acids/derivatives to form variety of betacyanins (violet) and betaxanthins

Primitively the term bioavailability was used in materia medica in order to describe the rate and extent of action of a drug. Many definitions of bioavailability were recommended, but the more accepted one is the fractional part of any ingested compound that enters the systemic circulation and the particular sites where this compound maintains its ...

Ecology gradually affects the biochemical composition of plant which is progressively influenced by conservationism. This observation is extensively supported when Caryophyllales is examined for its phytochemical characterization. So, anthocyanins are replaced by betalain in various vegetative parts mainly in flowers and fruits.
