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.
Beetroot color fades at high or low pH levels because the pigment responsible for the red color (betacyanin) is pH-sensitive. In acidic conditions, the pigment changes its structure and becomes less stable, resulting in a faded color. In alkaline conditions, the pigment can degrade or interact with other compounds, leading to color loss.
Within the vacuole. It is when the vacuole bursts or is damaged that the betacyanin diffuses out and therfore a red dye 'leaks' out of the beetroot
Due to a a variety of betalain pigments the red colour of beet root is generated.The composition of different betalain pigments can vary, giving breeds of beetroot which are yellow or other colors in addition to the familiar deep red.
Heat causes the cell membrane of beetroot cells to become more permeable, leading to the release of red pigment (betacyanin) into the surrounding environment. This results in the characteristic color change of beetroot from red to a lighter pink or yellow when heated.

Colour in beet root powder is due to Betalains. They are a group of betacyanins, nitrogen containing pigment.
Heat causes the cell membrane of beetroot cells to become more permeable, leading to the release of red pigment (betacyanin) into the surrounding environment. This results in the characteristic color change of beetroot from red to a lighter pink or yellow when heated.
Saponin disrupts the cell membrane, causing it to release the red pigment from the beetroot cells. Over 30 minutes, the beetroot cylinder will likely lose color as the pigment diffuses into the solution due to the disruption of the cell membrane. The temperature of 20 degrees Celsius may affect the rate of diffusion but should not significantly impact the overall outcome.
Chloroplast
The iris is the structure in the eye that gives it color. It is a thin, circular structure that controls the size of the pupil and regulates the amount of light that enters the eye. The amount of pigment in the iris determines the color of the eye.
You can make all kinds of tasty, colorful and good for your health beetroot dishes: beetroot soups, beetroot salads, beetroot stew, etc.
NO!!! I hate beetroot!!!!!! I love beetroot... except that it stains everything.
Fresh beetroot - yes (sparingly). Pickled beetroot NO !
