Pollinator, herbivore, and climatic selective pressures differ across a floral color transition zone
American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Premise Spatial and temporal variations in climate and ecological interactions may underlie the origin and maintenance of floral color polymorphisms across a species range. Betalains are nitrogen‐containing, phylogenetically restricted pigments that, like the widespread and well‐studied anthocyanins and carotenoids, may attract pollinators ...

Thermal Decarboxylation of Betacyanins in Red Beet Betalain-Rich Extract
Polish Journal of Food and Nutrition Sciences, 2020 Betalains are one of the most common groups of plant pigments found in nature, especially in red beetroot ( Beta vulgaris L.) which is the main commercially exploited source of betalains produced in the form of concentrates or powders.

Betalain synthesis in alfalfa impacts fiber digestion and enteric methane production
Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.Abstract Betalain pigments, betacyanins, and betaxanthins are widely used as coloring agents as well as in pharmaceutical and functional foods. However, significant betacyanin production occurs in only a few species of plants, which limits their wider application.

Aberrations of Betanin Sensitized Gelatin Microlenses
Acta Physica Polonica A, 2009 Aberrations of the concave aspherical microlenses are presented. Microlenses are produced by using betanin sensitized gelatin and 532 nm laser irradiation (2nd Nd:YAG harmonic). Aberrations are analyzed by calculation of the longitudinal spherical aberration and the root mean square RMS spot radius.

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.This study systematically compared the effects of soluble dietary fiber‐phenolic conjugates, dephenolized fiber, and bound phenolics from lemon peel on the physicochemical, digestive, and structural properties of gelatinized corn starch. ABSTRACT Dietary fiber (DF) and phenolics are commonly used as two distinct natural active components to modify the ...

Reduction of selected betacyanins [PDF]
, 2014 Betacyanins are conjugates of betalamic acid and glycosylated cyclo-DOPA which bring about the creation of a specific chromophoric system, the 1,7-diazaheptamethin chain.
