Stabilization of betalains by encapsulation—a review

Journal of Food Science and Technology, 2019
Betalains are pigments that have properties that benefit health, such as antioxidant, anticancer, and antimicrobial activity, and they also possess a high ability to provide color. However, these pigments, although used as colorants in certain foods, have not been able to be potentialized to diverse areas such as pharmacology, due to their instability ...

Complex Biochemistry and Biotechnological Production of Betalains

Food Technology and Biotechnology, 2011
The demand for natural food colourants is increasing because of public awareness of their health benefits. Betalains are nitrogen-containing plant pigments whose colours range from red-violet betacyanins to yellow betaxanthins.

Beta vulgaris Betalains Mitigate Parasitemia and Brain Oxidative Stress Induced by Plasmodium berghei in Mice

Pharmaceuticals
Although many drugs have been discovered to treat malaria infection, many of them face resistance from the host’s body with long-term use. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the activity of betalains (from Beta vulgaris) and chloroquine (a reference

Etcho (Pachycereus pecten-aboriginum) Fruit Juice Reduces Lipid Accumulation and Modulates CD36 and AdipoR1 mRNA Expression in Human Adipocytes Stimulated with Long-Chain Fatty Acids

Beverages
Phytochemicals modulate lipid metabolism, but it remains unclear whether phytochemical-rich cactus fruits have a similar effect. Accordingly, the effects of Etcho (Pachycereus pecten-aboriginum) fruit juice on lipid accumulation and on the expression of ...

Enhancing extraction of betalains from beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) using deep eutectic solvents: optimization, bioaccessibility and stability

Food Production, Processing and Nutrition
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are the next generation of green solvents that are considered for their stability and biocompatibility. This study used 10 different DESs synthesized from choline chloride, alcohols, organic acids and sugars.
