Structural Effects on the Antioxidant Properties of Amino Acid Betaxanthins
Betaxanthins are natural products with high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Here, we describe the semisynthesis of twenty-one betaxanthins derived from proteinogenic amino acids, including the elusive betaxanthin of l-cysteine and two ...

A betaxanthin-based visible and fluorescent reporter for monitoring plant transformation
Commonly used reporters rely on a single property, such as the fluorescence of GFP and visible color of anthocyanins, therefore these reporters hardly handle the complicated condition in practice.

Amino Acid Betaxanthins: Absorption, Fluorescence, And Stability. [PDF]
Betaxanthins are natural pigments responsible for the vivid yellow coloration and intrinsic fluorescence of flowering succulent plants within the order Caryophyllales. Though less extensively studied than other plant pigments classes, betaxanthins hold potential for application as safe food dyes, solar cell absorbers, antioxidants, and genetically ...

The Decisive Step in Betaxanthin Biosynthesis Is a Spontaneous Reaction1 [PDF]
Abstract Experiments were performed to confirm that the aldimine bond formation is a spontaneous reaction, because attempts to find an enzyme catalyzing the last decisive step in betaxanthin biosynthesis, the aldimine formation, failed. Feeding different amino acids to betalain-forming hairy root cultures of yellow beet (Beta vulgaris L.

Identification of <i>CqCYP76AD5v1</i>, a gene involved in betaxanthin biosynthesis in <i>Chenopodium quinoa</i>, and its product, betaxanthin, which inhibits amyloid-β aggregation. [PDF]
Betalain pigments, primarily produced by the order Caryophyllales, are categorized into betacyanins (red/purple) and betaxanthins (yellow/orange). While the biosynthetic pathways of these pigments are well-studied, the genes responsible for betaxanthin biosynthesis in quinoa were previously unknown.

Influence of vacuum microwave drying parameters on the physicochemical properties of red beetroots
In recent years, the consumption of red beetroots has increased significantly due to its good taste, high nutritional value and abundant active compounds. Red beetroot is prone to spoilage due to its high moisture content, making it perishable.
