Evaluation of three methods for betanin quantification in fruits from cacti

MethodsX, 2022
In México, production of cacti fruits has increased. These fruits have high concentration of betalains (pigments), and market has increased interest in food with natural ingredients.

Betanin: A Bioeconomy Insight into a Valued Betacyanin

ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering, 2017
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.

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.

Influence of gelation on the retention of purple cactus pear extract in microencapsulated double emulsions.

PLoS ONE, 2020
A purple cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) extract (CP) was encapsulated in double emulsions (DE) gelled with gelatin (DE-CP-G) and with gelatin and transglutaminase (DE-CP-GT), as well as in a DE with a liquid external aqueous phase (DE-CP), in order ...

Preparation, Stabilization and Application of Starch-based Natural Betanin Microcapsules

Shipin gongye ke-ji
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.

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 ...

Preharvest application of ethephon and postharvest UV-B radiation improve quality traits of beetroot (Beta vulgaris L. ssp. vulgaris) as source of colourant

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background Betanins have become excellent replacers for artificial red-purple food colourants. Red beet (Beta vulgaris L. spp. vulgaris) known as beetroot, is a rich source of betalains, which major forms are betanin (red to purple) and vulgaxanthin ...

Betanin inhibits the myeloperoxidase/nitrite-induced oxidation of human low-density lipoproteins [PDF]

, 2007
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.

Mechanism of interaction of betanin and indicaxanthin with human myeloperoxidase and hypochlorous acid [PDF]

, 2005
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.
