Betalains are water-soluble pigments present in vacuoles of plants of the order Caryophyllales and in mushrooms of the genera Amanita, Hygrocybe and Hygrophorus. Betalamic acid is a constituent of all betalains. The type of betalamic acid substituent determines the class of betalains. The betacyanins (reddish to violet) contain a cyclo-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (cyclo-DOPA) residue while the betaxanthins (yellow to orange) contain different amino acid or amine residues. The most common betacyanin is betanin (Beetroot Red), present in red beets Beta vulgaris, which is a glucoside of betanidin. The structure of this comprehensive review is as follows: Occurrence of Betalains; Structure of Betalains; Spectroscopic and Fluorescent Properties; Stability; Antioxidant Activity; Bioavailability, Health Benefits; Betalains as Food Colorants; Food Safety of Betalains; Other Applications of Betalains; and Environmental Role and Fate of Betalains.

Four spectrophotometric methods of determination of antioxidant capacity: a method based on the scavenging of the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical, the ''ferric-reducing ability of plasma'' (FRAP), a method based on reduction of the 2,2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzthiazolinesulfonate) free radical (ABTS ” + ) and a kinetic method based on the oxidation of dihydro-2,7- dichlorofluorescein by 2,2'-azobis (2-amidopropane) (ABAP) were compared with respect to standard antioxidants (ascorbate, glutathione, Trolox and urate) and human blood plasma. Various reactivities of standard antioxidants in different tests were found, glutathione showing a low reactivity in the FRAP assay. Kinetic measurements show that the reduction of indicators, especially by blood plasma, may not be complete at recommended times of the assays and the time of measurement is an important parameter when comparing the results.

The current understanding of the complex role of ROS in the organism and pathological sequelae of oxidative stress points to the necessity of comprehensive studies of antioxidant reactivities and interactions with cellular constituents. Studies of antioxidants performed within the COST B-35 action has concerned the search for new natural antioxidants, synthesis of new antioxidant compounds and evaluation and elucidation of mechanisms of action of both natural and synthetic antioxidants. Representative studies presented in the review concern antioxidant properties of various kinds of tea, the search for new antioxidants of herbal origin, modification of tocopherols and their use in combination with selenium and properties of two promising groups of synthetic antioxidants: derivatives of stobadine and derivatives of 1,4-dihydropyridine.
