Compositional characteristics of commercial beetroot products and beetroot juice prepared from seven beetroot varieties grown in Upper Austria
Open accessAbstract
Beta vulgaris L. (beetroot) contains high amounts of biologically active substances including betalains and inorganic nitrate. We determined the amounts of various compounds (minerals, betalains, oxalic acid, phenolic acids, and sugars) in juice prepared from seven different beetroot varieties cultivated in Upper Austria. Large differences were found between the varieties for some substances (such as nitrate), whereas others showed only minor variation (certain minerals and sugars). The total betalain content was found to range between 0.8 and 1.3 g/L fresh juice (about 60% betacyanins and 40% betaxanthins) that accounted for 70–100% of the total phenolics content. Other detected phenolics were hydroxycinnamic acids, which accounted for up to 2.6% of total phenolics. Nitrate content varied 10-fold between single varieties. Sugar composition was similar in all varieties with an average total content of about 7.7%, consisting of 95% sucrose. Only minor differences in the concentration of oxalic acid (0.3–0.5 g/L fresh juice) were found between the varieties. In addition, 16 commercial juices and four powders were analyzed for their nitrate contents, as its metabolic product nitric oxide has been reported to provide cardiovascular benefits. Large variations of the nitrate levels, ranging from 0.01 to 2.4 g/L, were found.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
