Abstract

Betalains are emerging natural pigments with high tinctorial strength and stability, physiological activities, and fluorescent properties for potential application in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. Betalains including yellow betaxanthins and red betacyanins are mainly restricted in the Caryophyllales plants. To expand the availability of individual betaxanthins, here, we constructed an
