Abstract


The goal of this work was to evaluate the betalain stability of beet 70% aq. ethanol
extract added of cyclodextrins (a-, b- and g-CD). The concentrations of 0.925g/
100mL and 0.462g/100mL was evaluated on an atmosphere with oxygen and nitrogen
flow, ambient with or without light, temperature of the 25.0 ± 1.0°C and extract pH
6.80 ± 0.05. CDs addition in the beet 70% aq. ethanol extract , in the concentrations
and evaluated conditions, didnt improve betalains stability increase. The treatments
submitted to the nitrogen flow and kept in light absence had presented higher stability.
