Nonetheless, this is still a significant quantum and therefore, this compound deserves further evaluation on its contribution to the overall coagulation capability of cactus. They suggest that Opuntia spp. operates predominantly through a bridging-coagulation mechanism where solution particulates do not ...
Antiviral properties used for herpes, flu, HIV, obesity, gastrointestinal disorders, cholesterol, and skin problems. The fruit of the cactus, which looks like pink easter eggs—also known as the pulp or tuna, can be eaten much like other fruits. They taste like raspberries and are SUPER high...
146 Corrosion Inhibitors, Principles and Recent Applications chrome, lead, arsenic, among others, because they are toxic and dangerous to health and environ- ment. Formulations of alternative compounds with more biocompatibility and low costs have led to the development of the green inhibitors also ...
When they had the choice rams preferred chopped fresh Opuntia (61.6% of the whole DM intake) to chopped dried Opuntia (34.7%) and whole fresh Opuntia (3.7%) apart from a certain basal diet (200 g of meadow hay and 200 g of concentrate per animal and day). If only one of the three...
Lands bordered by the Mediterranean Sea are rich in plants that could potentially be used (once they have been reduced to fiber or flours) for the production of biodegradable and bio-based polymeric composites. Among them, Opuntia Ficus Indica (OFI) flour proved to be an excellent option [9]...
We have tested many oils advertised as “prickly pear oil” but at much lower prices. These oils were not from Morocco – most often from Mexico and India. They may be oil made from cactus seeds but they are not the same at all. ...
These proteins are expressed by specific genes, are physiologically stable and their composition is little affected by seasonal fluctuations; they also remain unchanged in dry mature seeds (Galvez et al., 2009). For these reasons, SSPs have been used as genetic biomarkers in genetic ...
They are very rich in calcium (37.8–42.5 g/kg of dry matter (DM)) and have high betalain content. The content of phenolic compounds (133.9–165.0 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/100 g DM) is especially noteworthy. These cladodes also contain very high amounts of vitamin ...
Regarding the plant’s usage for human consumption, all the plant parts are edible, including fruits, cladodes (Opuntia flattened stems), and flowers, which are used in infusions. This ensures low-waste crop cultivation, with all parts of the plant having potential. The cladodes have also bee...
Since compounds of formula 1 to 3 may have an asymmetric carbon center within their structure, they may exist in the form of enantiomer, diasteromer or a mixture thereof containing racemate, and accordingly, these isomers of the mixture thereof are included in the scope of the present ...
