Betaxanthin Profiling in Relation to the Biological Activities of Red and Yellow Beta vulgaris L. Extracts

Metabolites, 2023
Beta vulgaris L. is an edible plant with health-beneficial activities. The profile of betaxanthins is more complex than previously described in beetroot cultivars. Twenty-four betaxanthins were detected in extracts of the peel and flesh of five cultivars

Comparative Evaluation of Ultrasonic, High Pressure, and Pulsed Electric Field Processing on the Extraction and Storage Stability of Betalains From Red Beet By-Products. [PDF]

J Food Sci
ABSTRACT This study explores the potential of red beet peel (RBP) and red beet stalk (RBS), often underutilized by‐products, as rich sources of natural pigments and bioactive compounds. Three non‐thermal green extraction methods, namely, high‐pressure processing, ultrasound, and pulsed electric field treatment, were evaluated for their efficiency in ...

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]

Plant Biotechnol (Tokyo)
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.
