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 ...
