12/08/2024 Publication Bone Mineral Density, Mechanical, Microstructural Properties and Mineral Content of the Femur in Growing Rats Fed with Cactus Opuntia ficus indica (L.) Mill. (Cactaceae) Cladodes as Calcium Source in Diet

For several years, populations of developing countries including Mexico and Latin America have been undergoing changes in dietary habits [1]. The nutrition transition comprising changes in food patterns and dietary intake is linked to increased energy-dense sources, such as sugars, edible oils, and processed foods, whereas consumption of complex...
12/08/2024 Publication Evaluation of oxalates and calcium in nopal pads (Opuntia ficus-indica var. redonda) at different maturity stages

The content of calcium oxalate and calcium in powder from Opuntia ficus-indica (nopal pad) was investigated. Atomic absorption spectrometry was used to evaluate the calcium and calcium oxalate contents. The results suggest a positive relationship between calcium content and the maturity stages of nopal pads. For pads that were...
12/08/2024 Publication Physicochemical Characterization of Nopal Pads (Opuntia ficus indica) and Dry Vacuum Nopal Powders as a Function of the Maturation

This paper presents the physicochemical and nutrimental characterization of fresh nopal (Opuntia ficus indica, Redonda variety) and nopal powder produced at different stages of development. Nopal powder was obtained by dry vacuum technique using 10 2 Torr and low temperature (40°C). The results showed that the nutrimental and mineral...
