Half-Sib Selection for Higher Betalains Concentration and Lower Total Dissolved Solids in Table Beets (Beta Vulgaris) AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Monzarath Hernandez for the degree of Master of Science in Horticulture presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Half-Sib Selection for Higher Betalain Concentration and Lower Total Dissolved Solids in Table Beets (Beta vulgaris). Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ James R. Myers Betalains are a group of compounds that are major natural food colorants used by the food processing industry. These secondary compounds are found in only a few orders of plants with the Caryophyllales being the source of several domesticated crops. In particular, the family Chenopodiaceae in general and table beets (Beta vulgaris) specifically are the primary source for betalains for commercial extraction. Table beets are preferred because of high pigment concentration in the enlarged root in a crop that is relatively easy to grow, harvest and process. The primary betalains found in table beet are betacyanins (red pigments) and betaxanthins (yellow pigments). The food colorant industry is mainly interested in the betacyanin betanin, but betanin content is highly correlated with betalains so that selection for total betalains will result in an increase in betanin. Beets are also an economic source of sugars (primarily sucrose), which resulted in the development of sugar beets that are unpigmented but have sugar content of more than 20%. Table beets with moderately high sugar content have better flavor for culinary processes, but high sugars reduce efficiency of the extraction process of betalains for food colorants. Sucrose content in table beet is highly correlated with total dissolved solids (TDS), which can be easily measured with a refractometer whereas quantification of sucrose is more involved. Table beets with high betanin and low TDS are being sought by the food 2 concentrate industry. The objective of this study was to breed for high betalain pigment and low TDS in table beets. While quantification of betalains can be performed by UV-Vis spectrophotometry, the process is laborious and not suited to evaluating large numbers typically found in a breeding program. As a substitute for direct measurement of betalains, selection based on colorimeter measurements using the CIE L*a*b* color coordinate system was investigated. Parents were obtained from the USDA National Plant Germplasm System and from commercial sources. Twelve plant introduction accessions were chosen based on passport data in the GRIN database that indicated that they were pigmented and possessed low (<5%) sucrose content. Also selected were commercial lines with strong and uniform pigmentation, but moderately high TDS content. Six rounds of half-sib mass selection were performed to select simultaneously for increased pigment and decreased TDS. The process involved growing plants in the field in a late summer – early fall trial, evaluating pigment and TDS content of 10 roots per family and placing selected roots into cold storage (2°C) where they were vernalized for a minimum of 11-12 weeks. Roots were then transferred to the greenhouse in January and allowed to bolt, flower and random mate. Seeds were harvested in May and June and used for the next cycle field trial. From the accessions and cultivars grown in the field in 2014 - 2019, samples of 10 roots from each accession were taken for pigment and TDS analysis. From 20 - 30% of the individuals with high pigment and low TDS were retained in each cycle. In 2019, remnant seed from previous cycles along with the current cycle (cycle 5) were included in a replicated field trial so that all cycles could be evaluated in the same environment and heritability and gain from selection could be calculated. In conjunction with the colorimeter measurements, betalains were quantified in 2019 using UV-Vis spectrophotometer, and correlations between colorimeter and spectrophotometer data were calculated. For betalains, family means for CIE L* had a steady decease throughout the years indicating selection for lower L* resulted in families with darker pigmentation. TDS family averages, on the other hand, showed essentially no change over cycles. When reviewing data across years, two factors that may have influenced TDS levels were year to year environmental variation and the fact that betalains are usually present as a glycoside such that any increase in the amount of betalains will be associated with additional glyosidic content. Colorimeter measurements were converted to Royal Horticultural Society colors and RGB (Red-Green- Blue) color values. Over time, the half-sib population showed an increase in the purple-red and grey-purple groups. The population had a high narrow-sense heritability of 0.74, and also a relatively high change from selection of 0.75 per cycle for L*. TDS had low h2 and change from selection of 0.16 and 0.062% per cycle, respectively. In the case of the correlation of UV- VIS spectrophotometer data with colorimeter measurements, evaluation of six lines in the 2019 population showed a strong negative relationship between colorimeter and spectrophotometer values. However, there was a weak regression coefficient (r2=-0.03) for L* vs. betanin among families of the entire 2019 population. Overall, selection based on L* resulted in transgressive segregation for betanin, with some families outperforming commercial cultivar. Thus, the colorimeter appears to have utility as a technique for rapid and high throughput betalain measurement. ©Copyright by Monzarath Hernandez May 29, 2020 All Rights Reserved Half-Sib Selection for Higher Betalains Concentration and Lower Total Dissolved Solids in Table Beets (Beta vulgaris). by Monzarath Hernandez A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 Master of Science thesis of Monzarath Hernandez presented on May 29, 2020 APPROVED: Major Professor, representing Horticulture Head of the Department of Horticulture Dean of the Graduate School I understand that my thesis will become part of the permanent collection of Oregon State University libraries.

Received: 3 September 2020; Accepted: 15 October 2020; Published: 18 October 2020 Abstract: Eco-friendly betanin/clay minerals hybrid materials with good stability were synthesized by combining with adsorption, grinding, and heating treatment using natural betanin extracted from beetroot and natural 2:1 type palygorskite or 1:1 type halloysite. After incorporation of clay minerals, the thermal stability and solvent resistance of natural betanin were obviously enhanced. Due to the difference in the structure of palygorskite and halloysite, betanin was mainly adsorbed on the outer surface of palygorskite or halloysite through hydrogen-bond interaction, but also part of them also entered into the lumen of Hal via electrostatic interaction. Compared with palygorskite, hybrid materials prepared with halloysite exhibited the better color performance, heating stability and solvent resistance due to the high loading content of betanin and shielding effect of lumen of halloysite.

Livrea* and Luisa Tesoriere Dipartimento Farmacochimico Tossicologico e Biologico, Università di Palermo Via Michele Cipolla 74, 90128 Palermo. Italy *corresponding author [email protected] ABSTRACT The health-promoting properties of edible fruits from Opuntia ficus-indica have been the object of recent interest. Scientific evidence has been provided about benefits from the consumption of the fruits in humans, with special attention to the non-nutritive components as potentially active antioxidant phytochemicals. Information about bioavailability and bioactivity of betalains, mode of action as antioxidants in cells, and other biological models are now available. The use of cactus pear components as nutraceuticals and functional food is discussed. Keywords: Opuntia ficus-indica, edible cactus, betanin, indicaxanthin, betalains, health benefits, in vivo, in vitro, natural oxidants, free-radical scavengers 1. INTRODUCTION An equilibrated life-style, a balanced diet, no smoking, and moderate physical activity are fundamental for maintaining a healthy status. Importantly, epidemiological evidence has been provided that various age-related pathologies, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders have a minor incidence among people usually consuming a traditional Mediterranean-style diet, rich in fruit and vegetables (Ames et al., 1993; Lampe, 1999; Lee et al., 2004; Rice-Evans and Miller, 1985).

  • Functional Role of Betalains in Disphyma Australe Under Salinity Stress
    FUNCTIONAL ROLE OF BETALAINS IN DISPHYMA AUSTRALE UNDER SALINITY STRESS BY GAGANDEEP JAIN A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington In fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington (2016) i “ An understanding of the natural world and what’s in it is a source of not only a great curiosity but great fulfillment” -- David Attenborough ii iii Abstract Foliar betalainic plants are commonly found in dry and exposed environments such as deserts and sandbanks. This marginal habitat has led many researchers to hypothesise that foliar betalains provide tolerance to abiotic stressors such as strong light, drought, salinity and low temperatures. Among these abiotic stressors, soil salinity is a major problem for agriculture affecting approximately 20% of the irrigated lands worldwide. Betacyanins may provide functional significance to plants under salt stress although this has not been unequivocally demonstrated. The purpose of this thesis is to add knowledge of the various roles of foliar betacyanins in plants under salt stress. For that, a series of experiments were performed on Disphyma australe, which is a betacyanic halophyte with two distinct colour morphs in vegetative shoots. In chapter two, I aimed to find the effect of salinity stress on betacyanin pigmentation in D. australe and it was hypothesised that betacyanic morphs are physiologically more tolerant to salinity stress than acyanic morphs. Within a coastal population of red and green morphs of D. australe, betacyanin pigmentation in red morphs was a direct result of high salt and high light exposure. Betacyanic morphs were physiologically more tolerant to salt stress as they showed greater maximum CO2 assimilation rates, water use efficiencies, photochemical quantum yields and photochemical quenching than acyanic morphs.

It is produced from H2O2 and chloride by the heme enzyme myeloperoxidase (MPO). Based on findings that betalains provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, we performed the present kinetic study on the interaction between the betalains, betanin and indicaxanthin, with the redox intermediates, compound I and compound II of MPO, and its major cyto- toxic product HOCl. It is shown that both betalains are good peroxidase substrates for MPO and function as one-electron reduc- tants of its redox intermediates, compound I and compound II. Compound I is reduced to compound II with a second-order rate constant of (1.5 ± 0.1) · 106 MÀ1 sÀ1 (betanin) and (1.1 ± 0.2) · 106 MÀ1 sÀ1 (indicaxanthin), respectively, at pH 7.0 and 25 °C. Formation of ferric (native) MPO from compound II occurs with a second-order rate constant of (1.1 ± 0.1) · 105 MÀ1 sÀ1 (betanin) and (2.9 ± 0.1) 105 MÀ1 sÀ1 (indicaxanthin), respectively.

The juice showed a betacyanin content of 0.76 g/kg. The rate constants for the betacyanin degradation and isothermal kinetic parameters were calculated according to the following three models: Arrhenius, Eyring, and Ball. The fittings of the models were found to be close to one other with SSE values of 0.0964, 0.0964, and 0.0974, respectively. However, because the estimated parameters for the Ball equation happened to be less correlated than the parameters of the other models, this equation was then used for the simulations. The parameters for z and ◦ 4 D0 were 42.21 C and 6.79 × 10 s, respectively. Betacyanins were found to resist typical heat treatment conditions (F70◦C values between 100 and 200 min), with a maximum loss of 10% when the ◦ temperature was above 80 C.
