Development and characterization of edible films based on mucilage of Opuntia ficus-indica (L.).
Mucilage of Opuntia ficus-indica (OFI) was extracted and characterized by its composition and molecular weight distribution. Mucilage film-forming dispersions were prepared under different pHs (3, 4, 5.6, 7, and 8) and calcium concentration (0% and 30% of CaCl(2), with respect to mucilage's weight), and their particle size determined. Mucilage films with and without calcium (MFCa and MF, respec...
متن کاملRheology and Aggregation of Cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica) Mucilage in Solution
The mucilage obtained from cactus is commonly described as water-soluble pectin-like polysaccharide. Although few potential uses of this material have been described, it is not an industrial hydrocolloid. The objective of this study was to evaluate the rheological behavior of the polysaccharide isolated from the cladodes of Opuntia ficus-indica. The polymer had a weight average molecular mass (...
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 کاملIsolation and characterization of a reserve protein from the seeds of Opuntia ficus-indica (Cactaceae).
We describe here the isolation and characterization of a major albumin from the seeds of Opuntia ficus-indica (Cactaceae). This protein has a molecular mass of 6.5 kDa and was isolated by a combination of gel filtration chromatography and reverse-phase HPLC. The amino acid composition of this protein was determined and it was shown to have similarities with the amino acid composition of several...
متن کاملPharmacological actions of Opuntia ficus indica: A Review
Cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica) belongs to the family Cactaceae. Family Cactaceae is reported to contain about 130 genera and nearly 1500 species. This plant is native of Mexico and it is widely distributed in Mexico and in all American hemispheres as well as in Africa and in the Mediterranean basin. It has been used in traditional folk medicine because of its role in treating a number of disease...
