摘要
Betalains are natural antioxidant pigments responsible for the visible fluorescence of flowers. Although these compounds are almost exclusively soluble in water, they are very sensitive to both hydrolysis and water-catalyzed isomerization. We show that three representative betalains are soluble in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) and that the hydrolytic stability of these model compounds in hydroalcoholic solutions increases with increasing amount of TFE. Furthermore, TFE increases the fluorescence quantum yields of betaxanthins. .
