About The Detailed Introduction Of Betanin?
Betanin powder is extracted from beetroot and is the main pigment in beets. It is soluble in water and is suitable as a coloring agent for various foods. However, its application is limited due to its poor temperature stability in aqueous solutions.
Betanin is easily degraded in the presence of oxygen. Under oxygen-deficient conditions, degradation slows down. However, the degradation of betanin in aqueous solution is reversible, and the degree of its regeneration is related to factors such as the pH value of the solution. In order to enhance the thermal stability of betanin, it is necessary to reduce the oxygen in the solution as much as possible, and at the same time, try to create conditions for the regeneration of betanin.
1.structure
The betalain aglycone is called betalain or betalain, and the glycoside formed by combining this aglycon with glucose is called betalain or betalain. The only sugars that can form glycosides with betalains are glucose and glucuronic acid. It is known that malonic acid, ferulic acid, p-coumaric acid, sinapic acid, caffeic acid and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric acid can be connected to the sugar group of betanin to form an acid compound. Similar to anthocyanins, but more complex in structure. The C2 and C15 positions in the betanin molecule are asymmetric carbon atoms, so there are also epimers.
2.Physical and chemical properties
Red purple or dark purple liquid, block or powder, or paste, bright color, relatively stable between pH 3.0-7.0, pH 4.0-5.0 is the most stable. When pH<4.0, the color of the solution changes from red to purple; when pH>7.0, the color of the solution changes from red to purple accordingly; when pH>10.0, the color of the solution quickly turns yellow because betanin can be converted under alkaline conditions. It is betaxanthin, which is the reason why betaine solution turns yellow under alkaline conditions.
It is easily soluble in water, 50% ethanol or propylene glycol aqueous solution, almost insoluble in absolute ethanol, propylene glycol or acetic acid, and insoluble in organic solvents such as ether, acetone, glycerin, grease, chloroform or benzene [1].
Adding citric acid or metal chelators can improve the stability of betanin; adding antioxidants can also enhance the stability of betanin, such as ascorbic acid and erythorbic acid, but in the presence of iron ions and copper ions, molecular oxygen can catalyze the The oxidation reaction of ascorbic acid, thus reducing the protective effect of ascorbic acid on betalains; using H2O2 for oxidation resistance tests and sodium sulfite for reduction resistance tests show that betalains have weak oxidation resistance and reduction resistance, and should be used when using them. Avoid simultaneous use with oxidizing and reducing agents.
3.degradation
Betanin is easily degraded in the presence of oxygen. Under oxygen-deficient conditions, degradation slows down. However, the degradation of betanin in aqueous solution is reversible, and the degree of its regeneration is related to factors such as the pH value of the solution. In order to enhance the thermal stability of betanin, it is necessary to reduce the oxygen in the solution as much as possible, and at the same time, try to create conditions for the regeneration of betanin. Betanin in aqueous solution is hydrolyzed into betaine aldehyde and cyclic dihydroxyphenylalanine-5-O-glycoside after heating, and betanin regeneration is the reverse reaction of the hydrolysis process.
What Are The Benefits?
Antioxidant effect: Betanin powder is an effective free radical scavenger, which can neutralize excessive free radicals in the body and reduce the damage to cells caused by oxidative stress. This antioxidant effect helps prevent a variety of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and Alzheimer's disease.
Anti-inflammatory effect: It has obvious anti-inflammatory effect, which can inhibit the release of inflammatory mediators during the inflammatory reaction and reduce the symptoms of inflammation. This has positive significance for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, etc.
Blood pressure lowering effect: It has significant blood pressure lowering effect. It can promote the synthesis and release of nitric oxide, dilate blood vessels, reduce vascular resistance, and thereby lower blood pressure. This is very beneficial for the treatment of patients with high blood pressure.
Hypoglycemic effect: It can increase the secretion of insulin and the utilization of glucose by tissues, and reduce blood sugar levels. Therefore, it has a certain auxiliary effect on blood sugar control in diabetic patients.
Liver-protective effect: It has liver-protective effect, can reduce liver damage and promote liver cell regeneration. It is helpful in the treatment of liver diseases such as hepatitis and fatty liver.
Improve exercise performance: It can improve exercise endurance and muscle contraction, increase oxygen supply and energy production to muscles, thereby improving exercise performance.
Promote digestion: It can stimulate the secretion of gastric juice and pancreatic juice, promote the digestion and absorption of food, and relieve indigestion and gastrointestinal problems.
Anti-aging effect: It has anti-aging effect, which can delay cell aging, reduce the occurrence of wrinkles, and maintain the elasticity and luster of the skin.
What Are The Application Directions?
Pharmaceutical field: Betanin powder is mainly used as a drug in the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, liver diseases and other diseases. For example, betanin can reduce myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and prevent coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction; for liver diseases such as hepatitis and fatty liver, betanin can promote liver cell regeneration and reduce liver damage; in cancer treatment, betanin can enhance The efficacy of chemotherapy and radiotherapy reduces their toxic side effects on normal cells.
Health product field: As a health product, it is mainly used in antioxidants, lowering blood pressure, lowering blood sugar, improving sports performance, etc. For example, betalains can neutralize excessive free radicals in the body, reduce oxidative stress damage to cells, and prevent a variety of chronic diseases; for patients with hypertension, diabetes, etc., betalains can lower blood pressure and blood sugar levels, which has certain benefits. Auxiliary effect; for athletes and fitness professionals, betalains can improve exercise endurance and muscle contraction, increase muscle oxygen supply and energy production, thereby improving exercise performance.
Food field: It can be used as a food additive for preservation, color enhancement, flavor enhancement, etc. For example, adding betanin to meat products, egg products, condiments, juices and other foods can improve the taste and quality of the products.
Cosmetics field: It can be used as cosmetic raw materials and has moisturizing, antioxidant, anti-aging and other effects. For example, adding betanin to cosmetics such as facial creams, lotions, and shampoos can maintain the elasticity and luster of the skin and reduce the occurrence of wrinkles.
