Abstract

Pokeweed (Phytolacca americana) accumulates betacyanin as natural red pigment mainly in its fruit. It is well known that P. americana cultured cells accumulate betacyanin with their growth. We report the most effective medium to produce betacyanin and the stability of betacyanin from cultured cells.
