Beetroot Red: The Vibrant Natural Pigment Powering Health & Food Innovation

1. What is Beetroot Red?

Beetroot Red is a water-soluble betalain pigment complex primarily composed of betanin (75-95%) and its derivatives, responsible for the deep red-violet hue in Бета вулгарис roots. Unlike anthocyanins, these nitrogen-containing pigments feature a protonated 1,7-diazaheptamethin system with exceptional pH stability (pH 3-7). Recognized as food colorant E162, it possesses dual functionality as a potent antioxidant (ORAC 19,200 μmol TE/g) and bioactive nutraceutical with clinically validated health benefits.
