Red beet (Beta vulgaris L.): Nutritional composition, antioxidant properties and health benefits

Abstract

Red beet is a vegetable obtained from the plant called Beta vulgaris L. Red beet, which has a very high nutritional value, contains various vitamins, minerals, fibers and phytochemicals. The main nutrients of red beets include folate, iron, potassium, vitamin C, betanin (a pigment that gives the red color), betalains, betacyanins and antioxidants. It contains antioxidant compounds, especially betalains and betasianins, and is among the ten most powerful vegetables in terms of antioxidant properties. It contains high amounts of bioactive phenolics such as routine, epicatechin and caffeic acid, which are also known as excellent antioxidants. These antioxidants can reduce oxidative stress by fighting free radicals that cause cell damage. It is an excellent dietary supplement as it is not only rich in minerals, nutrients and vitamins, but also has unique phytoconstituents with various medicinal properties. Betanin, found in red beets, is particularly known for its antioxidant properties and can protect the body against free radicals. Red beet is known as a good health promoter, disease preventive and therapeutic. Some of these include cardiovascular health, antimicrobial activity, improving kidney function, increasing exercise performance, anti-inflammatory effects, liver health, and reducing cancer risk. The aim of this review study is to present the nutritional contents, antioxidant properties and general health benefits of red beet. More experiments and studies are needed to determine the effects of red beet on diseases and its antioxidant activity.

Kırmızı pancar (Beta vulgaris L.): Besinsel bileşimi, antioksidan özellikleri ve sağlık faydaları

Abstract

Kırmızı pancar, Beta vulgaris L. adlı bitkiden elde edilen bir sebzedir. Besin değeri oldukça yüksek olan kırmızı pancar, çeşitli vitamin, mineraller, lifler ve fitokimyasallar içerir. Kırmızı pancarın, başlıca besin öğeleri arasında folat, demir, potasyum, C vitamini, betanin (kırmızı rengi veren bir pigment), betalainler, betasianinler ve antioksidanlar yer alır. Kırmızı pancar, özellikle betalainler ve betasianinler gibi antioksidan bileşikleri içerir ve antioksidan özelliği açısından en güçlü on sebze arasında yer alır. Kırmızı pancar, mükemmel antioksidanlar olarak da bilinen rutin, epikateşin ve kafeik asit gibi yüksek oranda biyoaktif fenolikler içerir. Bu antioksidanlar, hücre hasarına neden olan serbest radikallerle savaşarak oksidatif stresi azaltabilirler. Sadece mineraller, besinler ve vitaminler açısından zengin olmakla kalmayıp aynı zamanda çeşitli tıbbi özelliklere sahip benzersiz fitobileşenlere sahip olduğu için mükemmel bir besin takviyesidir. Kırmızı pancarda bulunan betanin, özellikle antioksidan özellikleri ile bilinir ve vücudu serbest radikallere karşı koruyabilir. Kırmızı pancar iyi bir sağlık geliştirici, hastalık önleyici ve tedavi edici olarak bilinir. Bunlardan bazıları kardiyovasküler sağlık, antimikrobiyal aktivite, böbrek fonksiyonunu iyileştirme, egzersiz performansını artırma, anti-inflamatuar etkiler, karaciğer sağlığı ve kanser riskini azaltmadır. Bu derleme çalışmanın amacı kırmızı pancarın besin içerikleri, antioksidan özellikleri ve genel sağlık yararlarının sunulmasıdır. Kırmızı pancarın hastalıklar üzerindeki etkilerini ve antioksidan aktivitesini belirlemek için daha fazla deney ve çalışmaya ihtiyaç vardır.
