Differential partitioning of betacyanins and betaxanthins employing aqueous two phase extraction
Yellow betaxanthins and red purple betacyanins are genetically and structurally closely related pigments, hence making their separation from each other difficult and tedious. Fractionation of betalains into betacyanin and betaxanthin could be achieved by employing aqueous two-phase extraction (ATPE).

Fenton Discoloration of Ultrasonicated Purple Cactus Pear Juice
The aim of this study was to evaluate the stability of color, betaxanthin, and betacyanin pigments in the presence of Cu(II)-dependent hydroxyl radicals (HO•) from ultrasonicated purple cactus pear juice at amplitudes of 40%, 60%, and 80%, in comparison ...

BpCYP76AD15 is involved in betaxanthin biosynthesis in bougainvillea callus
Bougainvillea (Bougainvillea peruviana) is a climbing tropical ornamental tree belonging to Nyctaginaceae. Pigments that are conferring colorful bracts in bougainvillea are betalains, and that conferring yellow color are betaxanthins. In general, for red-to-purple betacyanin biosynthesis, α clade CYP76AD that has tyrosine hydroxylase and DOPA oxygenase

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 ...

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.
