Co-Production of Betacyanine and Eau-De-Vie from Red Beets (Beta vulgaris)

  • Yong D Hang and Edward E Woodams
Published/Copyright: July 27, 2009

An improved process with commercial wine yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae Montrachet was developed for co-production of betacyanine (a natural red beet pigment) and red beet eau-de-vie from the juice of red beet roots (Beta vulgaris). Red beet wines contained more than 55 g/L ethanol and approximately 0.95 g/L betacyanine. The samples of red beet eau-de-vie prepared by distillation of red beet wines had 180 g/L ethanol and the stillages contained nearly 2.5 g/L betacyanine.
