Differential Effects of Betacyanin and Betaxanthin Pigments on Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Response in Murine Macrophages
CONCLUSION: In summary, our data highlight anti-inflammatory properties of all betalains, although only betacyanins demonstrate radical scavenging properties, indicating potential differing responses under oxidative stress conditions which requires further research.

GSE231349 Transcriptome analysis of the transgenic and non-transgenic fleshy roots
Contributor : Bo WangSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Daucus carotaEffect of betanin synthesis on the metabolism of transgenic carrot. Betalain is a natural pigment with important nutritional value and broad application prospects. Previously, we produced betanin biosynthesis transgenic carrots via expressing optimized genes CYP76AD1S, cDOPA5GTS and DODA1S. Betanin can accumulate throughout the whole transgenic carrots. But the effects of betanin accumulation on the metabolism of transgenic plants and whether it produces unexpected effects are still unclear. (Source: GEO: Gene Expression Omnibus)

Effects of cold plasma on chlorophylls, carotenoids, anthocyanins, and betalains
Food Res Int. 2023 May;167:112593. doi: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.112593. Epub 2023 Feb 17.ABSTRACTPlasma is considered by several researchers to be the fourth state of matter. Cold plasma has been highlighted as an alternative to thermal treatments because heat induces less degradation of thermolabile bioactive compounds, such as natural pigments. In this review, we provide a compilation of the current information about the effects of cold plasma on natural pigments, such as the changes caused by plasma to the molecules of chlorophylls, carotenoids, anthocyanins, and betalains. As a result of the literature review, it is not...

Stable smart packaging betalain-based from red prickly pear covalently linked into cellulose/alginate blend films
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Feb 18:123764. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.123764. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSmart materials based on biomaterials have been shown growing interest by researchers. This paper investigated pH-indicator film with less leaching containing betalain molecule extracted from red prickly pear fixed in the cellulose-alginate blend as a matrix. Herein, the film was manufactured from a blend containing covalently bounded cellulose with betalain via the creation of a Fischer esterification (FE) to solve the leaching problem of dyes in contact with food. The structural, thermal, morphological optical, and...

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 2018: Influence of High-Pressure Homogenization on the Physicochemical Properties and Betalain Pigments of Red Beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) Juice
acka High-pressure homogenization (HPH) is considered an innovative and modern method of processing and preserving liquid and semi-liquid foods. The aim of this research was to examine the impact of HPH processing on the content of betalain pigments and physicochemical properties of beetroot juice. Combinations of the following HPH parameters were tested: the pressure used (50, 100, 140 MPa), the number of cycles (1 and 3) and the applied cooling or no cooling. The physicochemical analysis of the obtained beetroot juices was based on the determination of the extract, acidity, turbidity, viscosity and color values. Use ...
