11/12/2024 Publication Prospective antimycotoxigenic action of wild Opuntia ficus-indica by-products

Numerous natural compounds perform pharmaceutical, antimycotic and antitoxic purposes in the body system. The aim was to evaluate new phytoconstituents that provide antimycotoxigenic properties against mycotoxins. Bioactive materials chosen were fruit peels and cladodes of wild Opuntia ficus-indica containing a measurable quantity of bioactive phytochemicals.
11/11/2024 Publication Pharmacological Actions of opuntia ficus indica

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.
11/11/2024 Publication Sewage Sludge Conditioning using Opuntia Ficus Indica Juice

This work aimed to study the possibility of using plant matter, Opuntia ficus indica juice (OFIJ), for conditioning the Beni-Messous (Algiers) wastewater treatment plant sludge. The optimum dosage of OFIJ was found to be 0.4 g×kg-1 of dry matter, for which the residual turbidity, the dryness of the filtration cake,...
11/11/2024 Publication Characterization of crystalline structures in Opuntia ficus-indica

This research studies the crystalline compounds present in nopal (Opuntia ficus- indica) cladodes. The identification of the crystalline structures was performed using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, mass spectrometry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.
11/11/2024 Publication Physicochemical Properties, Bioactive Compounds and Sensory Evaluation of Opuntia dillenii Fruits Mixtures

Color, bioactive compounds and sensory evaluation of five Opuntia dillenii drinks mixed with strawberry and barley were studied during storage under cooling (4±˚C). It was found that Opuntia dillenii fruits had high levels of ascorbic acid (AA) (55.29 mg/100g), betacyanins (56.91), betaxanthin (45.64), total phenolic compounds (TCP) (179.30 mg/100g) and...
