Beta vulgaris, betalains

Betalaines. In 1968, the term betalaines was used to describe collectively two groups of plant pigments the red betacyanins and the yellow betaxanthins. The red and yellow dyes found in beets. Beta vulgaris, fall into this category. An interesting history has been written about these dyes (133). [Pg.405]

As for anthocyanins, betalains are found in vacuoles and cytosols of plant cells. From the various natural sources of betalains, beetroot (Beta vulgaris) and prickly pear cactus (Opuntia ficus indica) are the only edible sources of these compounds. In the food industry, betalains are less commonly used as natural colorants from plant sources than anthocyanins and carotenoids, probably related to their more restricted distribution in nature. To date, red beetroot is the only betalain source exploited for use as a natural food coloring agent. The major betalain in red beetroot is betanin (or betanidin 5-0-P-glucoside). Prickly pear fruits contain mainly (purple-red) betanin and (yellow-orange) indicaxanthin and the color of these fruits is directly related to the betanin-to-indicaxanthin ratio (99 to 1, 1 to 8, and 2 to 1, respectively in white, yellow, and red fruits)." ... [Pg.169]

One of the most important applications of PPO, although rarely reported, is its role in synthetic processes, such as the biosynthesis of betalains. Several researchers reported the hydroxylation of tyrosine to dopa, which can then be oxidized to dopaquinone, through a PPO from Portulaca grandiflora and from Beta vulgaris. Thus, a dioxygenase activity complements the constitutive PPO activity and the initiation of this dioxygenase... [Pg.109]

The betalains are confined to ten families of the order Caryophyllales20 The only foods containing betalains are red beet (Beta vulgaris), chard (B. vulgaris), cactus fruit (Opuntia ficus-indica) and pokeberries (Phytolacca americana). They also occur in the poisonous mushroom Amanita muscaria but this is not a normal food source. The importance of the betalains as colorants is confined to preparations from red beet. [Pg.190]

Boot roots, red beets. The cultured form of Beta vulgaris (Chenopodiaceae) has been used in Europe as a biennial vegetable plant since the 13th century. They are rich in oxalic acid (>300 mg/kg, in leaves >900 mg/kg), nitrate (200 mg/kg), and sodium (>80 mg/kg). The dark red color is due to the content of betanin (see betanidin) and other betalains and the typical odor to geosmin. The pressed juice is permitted for use as a food colorant. [Pg.75]

Betalains are a group of alkaloidal pigments restricted to about 10 families in the order Caryophyllales (formerly the Centrospermae). These pigments occur in all plant parts, vary in color from yellow to red-violet, exist as zwitterions, are water soluble, and are accumulated in the vacuole. Two main structural types and about 50 compounds have been reported from plants (Strack et al., 1993). The red color of beets (Beta vulgaris) is due to the presence of the betalain... [Pg.705]

Betalains are synthesized by hairy root cultures of Beta vulgaris. The alkaloids are not excreted into the medium (Flores et al., 1987). [Pg.708]

The composition of each of the musca-aurin betalaines was confirmed by partial synthesis from the appropriate amino acid and beta-lamic acid derived in situ from betanin (178), a pigment of the red beet, Beta vulgaris. The equilibrium depicted in Scheme 32 was monitored spectrophotometrically and the musca-aurins thus produced were purified by Sephadex chromatography 189). [Pg.80]
