Betalains, Phase II Enzyme-Inducing Components From Red Beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.)Extracts - NUTRITION AND CANCER, 53(1), p.91-103, 2005 .

Crude aqueous and ethanolic extracts of root tissue of red (Rd)and high-pigment (HP)beet (Beta vulgaris L.)strains exhibited antioxidant and phase II enzyme-inducing activities, and these extracts were fractionated using Sephadex LH-20 chromatography. These bioactivities tended to become co-enriched in early and late eluting fractions, comprising 5-25
