    <abstract language="eng"><p>Well crystallinenanostructured TiO<sub>2</sub> powder was synthesised by Co-precipitation method using Titanium (IV) isopropoxide and CTAB are precursor materialsto maintain in 1:1 ratio concentration. The synthesised power was structurally, morphologically and optically analysed to using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and UV-Vis absorption spectra. The betalain pigment of polluted water was prepared from <i>Beta vulgaris </i>extract at room temperature (RT). The 89% of betalain pigment was degraded at 40 min from <i>Beta vulgaris</i> extract polluted water using as-prepared TiO<sub>2</sub> powder as a photocatalystmaterial under visible light.</p></abstract>
