Betalains are a group of 24 phytonutrients that have powerful antioxidant activity which guard against eye degeneration, Heart disease, birth defects and certain cancers, especially colon cancer. They include:
- Betacyanins, red, blue, or purple pigments found in beets, chard, red or purple cabbage, and apples, are powerful antioxidants that fight colon cancer and other cancers.
- Betaxanthins, yellow and orange pigments found in beets, amaranth, prickly Pears, and Swiss chard, reduce the risk of blood clots by protecting the thin lining of your blood vessels, reduce the inflammation that makes your blood sticky and leads to clots, reduce oxidized LDL ("bad") cholesterol, protect many types of cells, especially brain cells, from toxins known to trigger tumors, and protect your liver from toxins.

What color do you get from beetroot powder?
Colour in beet root powder is due to Betalains. They are a group of betacyanins, nitrogen containing pigment.
What is the pigment found in plant cells called?
The green coloring or pigment in plant is called CHLOROPHYLL. carentoniod anthocyanins betalains
Why is the pigment found in the vacuole of beetroot cells does not leak from the cell?
The pigments in beetroot cells are known as Betalains. These pigments can be found in the vacuole of the beetroot cells. The leakage of pigment tends to occur when the cell is exposed to extreme pHs (acidity) and/or temperature.
Where are betacyanins found in beet cell?
Betacyanins are betalains which are vacuolar pigments (rather than other pigments which are found in plastids; anthocyanins are also vacuolar) therefore they can be seen as highly diffused because they are found in the largest part of the plant cell which is the vacuole. :)
What is principal pigment of plants?
The pigments in plants are organic chemicals such as these: Porphyrins for the reds Carotenoids for the orange Anthocyanins for the blues Betalains for reds and yellows chlorophyll for the greens (Actually, chlorophyll is a porphyrin; porphyrins can be any color depending on the metal species at the center.)
How many chemicals are there?
There are thousands of naturally occurring chemicals in foods, depending on the food type. Some different classes of phytochemicals found in plant foods include polyphenols, isoprenoids, terpenes, organosulfur compounds, and betalains. hi there r 22. tryptophan, valine, arginine, leucine, phenylalinine, histidine, isoleusine, methionine, theonine and lysine r the 1nes i remember now.
