Engineering Betalain Biosynthesis in Tomato for High Level Betanin Production in Fruits
Betalains are pigments found in plants of the Caryophyllales order, and include the red-purple betacyanins and the yellow-orange betaxanthins. The red pigment from red beets, betanin, is made from tyrosine by a biosynthetic pathway that consists of a ...

Preparation, Stabilization and Application of Starch-based Natural Betanin Microcapsules
In this paper, the betanin was studied to improve the thermal stability of betanin. Starch-based microcapsules loaded with betanin were prepared by starch adsorption and polysaccharide encapsulation.

Mechanism of interaction of betanin and indicaxanthin with human myeloperoxidase and hypochlorous acid [PDF]
Production of nitrogen dioxide by the activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in the presence of nitrite is now considered a key step in the pathophysiology of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation.

Enhanced photoconductivity in CdS/betanin composite nanostructures
The synthesis is described of inorganic/organic hybrid nanostructured composites based on CdS/betanin with enhanced photoconductivity due to the transfer of photogenerated electrons from the conduction band of betanin to the conduction band of CdS.

Metabolic engineering of rice endosperm for betanin biosynthesis [PDF]
Summary Betanin has been widely used as an additive for many centuries, and its use has increased because of its market application as an additive, high free radical scavenging activity, and safety, health‐promoting properties. The main source of betanin is red beet, but many factors notably affect the yield of betanin from red beets.

Distribution of betalain pigments in red blood cells after consuption of cactus pear fruits and increased resistance of the cells to ex vivo induced oxidative hemolysis in humans [PDF]
Betalain pigments are bioavailable phytochemicals recently acknowledged as natural radical scavengers. This work, which extends previous research on the postabsorbitive fate of dietary betalains, investigated the distribution of betanin and ...
