The effect of drying process on the pigment content and composition of table beet varieties
International Journal of Horticultural Science, 2011 The food industry requires natural colouring agents in increasing quantities. Beet root is highly adapted to this purpose with its red (betacyanin) and yellow (betaxanthin) pigments suitable for numerous products. The two pigments are, however, very heat-
