Plant-Derived Cell-Free Biofactories for the Production of Secondary Metabolites
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 ...

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.

Absorption, excretion, and distribution of dietary antioxidant betalains in LDLs: potential health effects of betalains in humans [PDF]
Background: Betalains were recently identified as natural antioxidants. However, little is known about their bioavailability from dietary sources. Objective: The objective was to evaluate the bioavailability of betalains from dietary sources. Design:

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.

Betalain extraction from Hylocereus polyrhizus for natural food coloring purposes [PDF]
Coloring preparations from Hylocereus polyrhizus have recently received attention because peel and/or aril of the fruit exhibit a high content of betacyanins.

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.

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 ...

Betanin: A Bioeconomy Insight into a Valued Betacyanin
Sourced so far mostly from beet root juice, betanin is a red-violet natural colorant increasingly used by the food, beverage and nutraceutical industries. We provide an updated bioeconomy perspective into a valued betacyanin whose supply and applications, we argue in this study, will rapidly expand.
