In vivo and in vitro evaluation of betanine mutagenicity.
CYTOLOGIA, 1990 Information about the mutagenic effect of natural food colors gives scientific support to their use as food additives. Two different forms of beet root colours were tested: form I without nitrate residues and form II with nitrate residues. Mutagenic effects were tested in vitro using the human peripheral blood lymphocyte system and in vivo using the ...

Improved efficiency of betanin-based dye-sensitized solar cells and a method of measuring Raman spectroscopy of betanin through quenching of fluorescence with TiO2 colloidal nanoparticles [PDF]
, 2010 Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) are emerging as a possible and less expensive alternative to silicon solar cells. Their advancement is presently limited by the capabilities of the sensitizing dyes used in terms of cost effectiveness, conversion ...

Metabolic engineering of rice endosperm for betanin biosynthesis [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2019 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.

Inhibitory Effect of Betanin From Against Steatohepatitis in Mice Fed a High-Fat Diet
Natural Product Communications, 2020 Betanin is a phytocompound whose effect in steatohepatitis has not yet been tested. Betanin was extracted from the fruits of Hylocereus ocamponis , and its effects were evaluated in a mice model for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Nature of Betanin, the Pigment of Red Beet [PDF]
Nature, 1958 THE interesting communication of R. G. Peterson and M. A. Joslyn on this subject calls for some comment. In the first place, the term “nitrogenous anthocyanin” is used partly chemically (nitrogenous) and largely botanically (anthocyanin) to denote an obviously related group of water-soluble bluish-red colouring matters, such as those of Beta, Atriplex,

Plant-Derived Cell-Free Biofactories for the Production of Secondary Metabolites
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Cell-free expression systems enable the production of proteins and metabolites within a few hours or days. Removing the cellular context while maintaining the protein biosynthesis apparatus provides an open system that allows metabolic pathways to be ...

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND Selenicereus spp., belonging to the Cactaceae family, produces pitaya, a fruit recognized for its exotic appearance and rich phytochemical composition. In regions with shorter photoperiods, flowering and fruit development are limited, making light supplementation a promising strategy.
