Opuntia ficus‐indica fruit consumption improves insulin resistance in mice with diet‐induced obesity

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 105, Issue 14, Page 7868-7880, November 2025.
Abstract BACKGROUND Obesity induces various co‐morbidities including insulin resistance. Opuntia ficus‐indica fruit (OFIF) is rich in various beneficial compounds with antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory properties. The present study evaluated the efficacy of OFIF supplementation to counteract obesity‐induced insulin resistance in comparison with an ...

Betalain production is possible in anthocyanin-producing plant species given the presence of DOPA-dioxygenase and L-DOPA

BMC Plant Biology, 2012
Background Carotenoids and anthocyanins are the predominant non-chlorophyll pigments in plants. However, certain families within the order Caryophyllales produce another class of pigments, the betalains, instead of anthocyanins.

Establishing betaxanthin pigment biosynthesis in cyanobacteria

AbstractBetalains are water-soluble pigments with two major classes: red-violet betacyanins and yellow-orange betaxanthins. These pigments are increasingly being sought after as natural replacements for synthetic pigments in the food industry. Traditionally, betalains are extracted from cultivated plants but, due to low native pigments, the process is ...

Comparative Assessment of Matrix Integration Dynamics Between Beetroot Powder and Paste in Wheat‐Based Cupcake Formulations

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2025.
This study investigated the incorporation of beetroot in two forms (powder and paste) at five concentration levels (10%–50%) in cupcakes, finding strong linear relationships between beetroot concentration and physical properties. Paste formulations consistently outperformed powder at equivalent concentrations in textural properties, color development ...
