beta cyanin/ヒユ属

Six selected weedy Amaranthus genotypes (three accessions from each species of A. viridis and A. spinosus) were evaluated in terms of nutrients, minerals, antioxidant constituents and antioxidant activity for the possibilities of weedy species as a vegetable cultivar in a randomized complete block

BACKGROUND Amaranthus tricolor is a unique source of betalain (β-cyanin and β-xanthin) and a source of natural antioxidants, such as leaf pigments, vitamins, polyphenols and flavonoids in leafy vegetables. It has substantial importance for the food industry, since these compounds detoxify reactive

Amaranth has two morphological types (morphs), one is red and another is green morph. Red morph amaranth is a marvelous source of nutrients, antioxidant pigments, minerals, and phytochemicals compared to green morph amaranth. For this purpose, we selected 25 red morph genotypes to evaluate in terms

Red color (A. tricolor) genotypes are an excellent source of pigments, such as betalain (1122.47 ng g^-1 FW), β-xanthin (585.22 ng g^-1 FW), β-cyanin (624.75 ng g^-1 FW), carotenoids (55.55 mg 100 g^-1 FW), and antioxidant phytochemicals, such as vitamin C
