Characterization of major betalain pigments -gomphrenin, betanin and isobetanin from Basella rubra L. fruit and evaluation of efficacy as a natural colourant in product (ice cream) development

Abstract: Basella rubra L. (Basellaceae) commonly known as Malabar spinach is a leafy vegetable which accumulates pigments in its fruits. To find out the feasibility of utilizing pigment rich extracts of its fruit as natural food colourant, fruits at different stages were analysed for pigment profiling, carbohydrate content, physical dimensions and weight. Total betalains content increased rapidly from early (green) through intermediate (half-done red-violet) to matured stage (red-violet). Maximum pigment content was ob… Show more

“…As betalains are considered as an alternative for synthetic colourants in the food industry due to its positive effects on health (Lin et al 2010;Khan et al 2012) and also finds use in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry as reviewed (Khan 2015). The betalains identification and characterization during ontogeny of B. rubra fruit extracts by HPLC and MS was reported (Kumar et al 2015d). Interestingly, many plants accumulate betalains, but only two (B. vulgaris and the prickly pear Opuntia ficus-indica) are approved to be used in food (Delgado-Varges and Lopez 2002).…”

“…Our result is too much higher than the findings of Tesoriere and co-authors [5] (12.1 mg/Kg) as well as those of Buteraand co-workers [20] (10.4 mg/Kg). The observed difference may be due to the ripeness state of the collected samples, their provenance and the harvest season [21][22][23].…”

“…The red spinach, beetroot, and red dragon fruit are known to have dominancy of betalains on its stems, leaves, and roots. It consists of red-violet betacyanins and yellow betaxanthins groups, which absorb light near the maxima at 535 nm and 480 nm, respectively [19]- [21]. The diversity in composition and content of pigment fractions on both groups, as determined by genetic information, steps of growth/maturity, as well as environmental factors, will result in color variety.…”
