“…In the raw extract of the beetroot samples vulgaxanthin I, vulgaxanthin II, betanin, and isobetanin were identified (Table 5) where different amounts of individual pigments were observed for the sample from the uncontaminated Píšťany soil compared to the beetroot samples from the risk element contaminated soils. Although high variability of betalain contents were observed among individual red beet varieties and different parts of the roots, betanin seems to be predominant in the common samples [3] consistent with our observations. The determination of elements in the beetroot samples (Table 3) suggested lower concentrations of As but higher concentrations of Pb in the samples dominated by betanin (R=0.85 and 0.76, P<0.05) and isobetanin (R=0.99 and 0.42), respectively.…”

“…Individual beet pigments were determined using a RP-HPLC method with UV detection [3]. The separation of four pigments was achieved with an analytical HPLC system Dionex Summit (Dionex corp, US), consisting of P680 quaternary gradient pump, diode array detector UVD340U, column thermostat, interfaced with the Waters 717 autosampler (Waters Inc., US), using a Gemini C18 column (250 × 4.6 mm I.D., 5 µm particle size).…”

“…Betalains are nitrogen-containing pigments replacing the anthocyanins in plants of the Caryophyllales families. They are immonium conjugates of betalamic acid with cyclo-dopa and amino acids or amines, respectively, comprising red-violet phenolic betacyanins and yellow non-phenolic betaxanthins [3,4].…”

The contents of risk elements, arsenic speciation, and possible interactions of elements and betalains in beetroot (Beta vulgaris, L.) growing in contaminated soil

Abstract:The effect of enhanced soil risk element contents on the uptake of As, Cd, Pb, and Zn was determined in two pot experiments.Simultaneously, transformation of arsenic and its compounds in beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) plants was investigated. The mobile fractions of elements were determined in 0.05 mol L -1 (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 extracts and did not exceed 2% of total soil arsenic, 9% of total cadmium, 3% of total lead, and 8% of total zinc, respectively. Although the soils were extremely contaminated the mobile portions of the elements represented only a small fragment of the total element content. Arsenic contents in beet plants reached up to 25 mg As kg -1 in roots and 48 mg As kg -1 in leaves in the soil characterized by the highest mobile arsenic portion. Arsenic portions extractable with water and phosphate buffer from the beetroot samples did not show significant differences between the extraction agents but the extractability was affected by the arsenic concentration. Arsenic was almost quantitatively extractable from the samples with the lowest total arsenic concentration, whereas in the samples with the highest total arsenic concentration less than 25% was extractable. Arsenate was the dominant arsenic compound in the extracts (70% in phosphate buffer, 50% in water extracts). A small portion of dimethylarsinic acid, not exceeding 0.5%, was detected only in the sample growing in the soil with the highest arsenic concentration. The role of betalains (betanin, isobetanin, vulgaxanthin I and vulgaxanthin II) in transformation/detoxification of arsenic in plants was not confirmed in this experiment because the plants were able to grow in the contaminated soil without any symptoms of arsenic toxicity.

“…Beetroot is also a source of fiber, potassium, manganese, iron, vitamin C, and a number of other vitamins and minerals (Rauha et al, 2005). Results from several in vitro studies have demonstrated that betalains from beetroots possess powerful antiradical and antioxidant activity (Kujala et al, 2002). Medicinally, the roots and leaves of the beet have been employed as a folk remedy to treat a wide variety of ailments (Kapadia et al, 2003).…”

The plant kingdom constitutes a source of new chemical compounds which may be important owing to their potential use in medicine and other applications. This study discussed the effect of taking 8 g of beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) for 20 days on the blood samples of female volunteers where the hemoglobin levels before and after the study was recorded. The results showed mild increase in hemoglobin readings, decrease in total iron binding capacity (TIBC), increase in ferritin and decrease in transferrin. Also, there was mild increase in serum iron levels after taking beetroot. Regarding MCV, it showed mild increase in four volunteers only. However, more research is needed to clearly identify mechanisms of action and proper dosing patterns to maximize the performance benefits of beetroot.
