Red betalains from Opuntia spp.: Natural colorants with potential applications in foods
(2012)
Natural red colorants are highly appreciated by the food industry, and betalains are one such category. There are few sources in nature of betalains, which are commonly obtained from red beet as a colorant additive and ...
Cysteine enhances the content of betalains and polyphenols in fresh-cut red beet
(Elsevier B.V., 2019-07-15)
This study investigated the effectiveness of cysteine in conservation of bioactive compounds and the antioxidant capacity of minimally processed red beet. After red beet minimal processing increasing cysteine concentrations ...
Developing Core/Shell Capsules Based on Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose and Gelatin through Electrodynamic Atomization for Betalain Encapsulation
(2023)
Betalains are bioactive compounds with remarkable functional and nutritional activities for health and food preservation and attractiveness. Nevertheless, they are highly sensitive to external factors, such as oxygen ...
Clarification of purple cactus pear juice using microfiltration membranes to obtain a solution of betalain pigments
(Instituto de Tecnologia de Alimentos - ITAL, 2015)
Betalains are fruit pigments possessing health-giving properties. To isolate the pigments, the juice must be separated from the fruit matrix, which contains biopolymers. The aim of this study was to clarify cactus pear ...
Thermal Stability of Betalains in By-Products of the Blanching and Cutting of Beta vulgaris L. Var conditiva
(Polish Academy of Sciences, 2020-02)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the thermal stability (5°C, 25°C, and 45°C) of betalains present in by-products of the blanching and cutting of Beta vulgaris L. var conditiva, to evaluate the possibility of ...
Effect of temperature and relative humidity on the stability of betalains encapsulated in cryogels from protein and polysaccharide
(2020-01-01)
The stability of betalains (Bet) encapsulated in cryogels made with a mixture of albumin (ALB) and albumin-pectin (ALB-PEC) as wall materials were evaluated during storage at 32% and 83% relative humidity (RH) at several ...
Production and Storage Properties of Spray-Dried Red Beet Extract Using Polysaccharide-Based Carrier Systems
(2019-01-01)
This study aimed to produce betalain-rich powders by spray drying red beet extract using modified starch and maltodextrin blends as carrier materials, as well as to investigate the product storage stability as affected by ...
Microencapsulation of betalains obtained from cactus fruit (Opuntia ficus-indica) by spray drying using cactus cladode mucilage and maltodextrin as encapsulating agents
(Elsevier, 2015-11)
The microencapsulation of betalains from cactus fruit by spray drying was evaluated as a stabilization strategy for these pigments. The betalains used as active agent were extracted from purple fruits of Opuntia ficus-indica ...
Casting light on the pathway to betalain biosynthesis: A review
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-06)
The biosynthesis of pigments is crucial for plant life. Betalains are hydrosoluble pigments almost completely restricted to species of the core Caryophyllales and, within the fungal lineage, the Basidiomycetes. As important ...
Natural colorants improved the physicochemical and sensorial properties of frozen Brazilian sausage (linguica) with reduced nitrite
(Univ Sao Paolo, 2021-01-01)
The use of natural colorants in meat products can keep its coloring attractive as well as meet the demand from consumers interested in products that are healthier. Nitrite is added as a preservative to these products and ...
