Research Progress on Bioactive Substances of Beets and Their Functions.

As a globally cultivated and economic crop, beets are particularly important in the cane sugar and feed industries. Beet pigments are among the most important natural pigments, while various chemical components in beets display beneficial biological functions. Phenolic substances and betalains, as the main bioactive compounds, determine the functional characteristics of beets.

A Novel Polysaccharide from Alleviates Thrombosis Induced by Carrageenan in Mice.

The increasing incidence of cardiovascular diseases has created an urgent need for safe and effective antithrombotic agents. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the structural characteristics and antithrombotic activity of a novel polysaccharide isolated from fruiting bodies. The purified polysaccharide AAP-b2 (12.
