Abstract

In the search for natural pigments to replace artificial dyes in food preparations, the pigments of red beet (Beta vulgaris) appear to be very promising. The principal red pigment betanine might be considered as a food colourant and accounts for about 75 - 90% of the total betacyanine content of beet. In this study, the pigment recovery efficiencies by different methods of extraction like diffusion extraction in single column and multiple columns and by hydraulic pressing at the laboratory level are compared.
