LC-MS Analysis of Phenolic Acids, Flavonoids and Betanin from Spineless Opuntia ficus-indica Fruits
Opuntia ficus-indica belongs to the Cactaceae family and is widespread in semi-arid and arid regions. Cactus pears are known for their health promoting properties which are due to a variety of bioactive molecules. This study aims to identify and quantify phenolic acids, flavonoids and betanin from spineless Opuntia ficus-indica fruits. Fresh mature samples were crushed, and extracted with 50% a...
متن کاملOpuntia ficus-indica cladodes as feedstock for ethanol production by Kluyveromyces marxianus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae
The feasibility of ethanol production using an enzymatic hydrolysate of pretreated cladodes of Opuntia ficus-indica (prickly pear cactus) as carbohydrate feedstock was investigated, including a comprehensive chemical analysis of the cladode biomass and the effects of limited aeration on the fermentation profiles and sugar utilization. The low xylose and negligible mannose content of the cladode...
متن کاملCytoprotective Effects of Opuntia Ficus-Indica Extract
Background: Hundreds of previous studies have suggested the beneficial effects of nopal extract on human body. We investigated here whether nopal extract shows cytoprotective activity against viral infection, ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and chemotherapeutic drug treatment used in the dentistry. Materials and methods: The water and ethanol extract of Opuntia f icus-indica (WEO and EEO, respecti...

متن کاملImprovement of Anaerobic Digestion of Sewage Sludge, Using Combined Hydrogen Peroxide and Thermal Pre-Treatment
The present study investigates the influence of individual and combined hydrogen peroxide and thermal pre-treatment of waste activated sludge on anaerobic digestion. For so doing, it employs anaerobic batch reactors in the mesophilic conditions. For comparison, soluble fractions of organic matter, biogas production, biochemical methane potential, removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD), and vol...
