Ultrasound assisted fabrication of the yeast protein-chitooligosaccharide-betanin composite for stabilization of betanin

Ultrasonics Sonochemistry
Betanin, a water-soluble colorant, is sensitive to light and temperature and is easily faded and inactivated. This study investigated the formation of yeast protein-chitooligosaccharide-betanin complex (YCB) induced by ultrasound treatment, and evaluated

The effect of parenteral betanin pre-treatment on the inflammatory response and proliferative activity of pulmonary parenchyma after jejunal ischaemia–reperfusion injury [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Research
Intestinal ischaemia–reperfusion (IR) injury has detrimental effects on both local and distant organs. Serious oxidative damage is caused by reperfusion, and betanin, known for its antioxidant properties, may reduce it.

Combining Conventional Organic Solvent Extraction, Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction, and Chromatographic Techniques to Obtain Pure Betanin from Beetroot for Clinical Purposes

Antioxidants, 2023
Red beetroot extract (E162) is a natural colorant that owes its color to betanin, its major red pigment. Betanin displays remarkable antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and chemoprotective properties mediated by its structure and influence on gene expression.
