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 ...

Stabilization of betalains: A review
Food Chemistry, 2016Betalains are vacuolar pigments composed of a nitrogenous core structure, betalamic acid [4-(2-oxoethylidene)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid]. This compound consists of a chromophore substructure 1,7-diazaheptamethin. Betalamic acid condenses with imino compounds (cyclo-DOPA or its glucosyl derivatives), or amines and/or their ...

Betalains occur only in few plant families of order Caryophyllales where they found vital constituents in edible parts of plants usually in leaves, flowers, and stems. They also occur in some fungi of higher order like in the fly agaric (A. muscaria) and some genera of Basidiomycetes. Red beetroots (B.

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 ...

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

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 ...

Anthocyanins occur widely in plants, being responsible for their blue, purple, violet, magenta, red and orange coloration; while betalains, consisting of red-violet betacyanins and yellow-orange betaxanthins, occur exclusively in families of the order Caryophyllales. The occurrence of these two classes of pigments is mutually exclusive. Their stability

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.

Betalains, the group of chemicals responsible for color in red beet, are found to exhibit powerful antioxidant activity and free radical scavenging properties with potential health benefits in humans, such as boosting immune system and prevention of cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer [1].

Chemical and Antioxidant Properties of Betalains
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2017Betalains are vacuolar pigments composed of a nitrogenous core structure, betalamic acid. Betalamic acid condenses with imino compounds (cyclo-DOPA/its glucosyl derivates) or amino acids/derivates to form violet betacyanins and yellow betaxanthins. These pigments have gained the curiosity of scientific researchers in recent decades.
