Prickly pear cactus fruit peels have been seen as organic waste. This study explored the effect of supplemental irrigation during fruit growth of 'Roja Lisa' (Opuntia ficus-indica) prickly pear cactus on the antioxidant, hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic properties of peel extracts from fruits collected at harvest and after storage conditions.

IRRIGATION ENHANCES POSTHARVEST PERFORMANCE OF 'CRISTALINA' CACTUS PEAR FRUIT
Acta Horticulturae, 2015Cactus pear fruit is grown mainly under rain-fed conditions in marginal semi-arid and arid highlands of central and north-central Mexico. Drip-irrigation can increase fruit yield ≈ 3.5-fold. However, the effects of irrigation, particularly on postharvest life of fruit, are unknown.

Postharvest fungal diseases of cactus pear fruit in southern Italy
Acta Horticulturae, 2016Penicillium polonicum, Alternaria alternata, and Macrophomina phaseolina were identified as causal agents of three different postharvest diseases of cactus pear fruit in southern Italy. P. polonicum was responsible for blue mould and was identified by sequencing part of the ?-tubulin gene DNA region. A. alternata and M.

Quality and storability of cactus pear fruit as improved by supplemental irrigation
Journal of the Professional Association for Cactus Development, 2020This research evaluated some fruit quality attributes at harvest and after two storage conditions [i.e., room temperature and cold storage] of four cactus pear cultivars previously exposed to non-irrigated (NI) treatment as the control, supplemental irrigation (SI) and commercial irrigation (CI).

Storage response of cactus pear fruit following hot water brushing
Postharvest Biology and Technology, 2005Abstract The storage response of cactus pear [ Opuntia ficus-indica Miller (L.)] following hot water brushing was investigated. Fruit were simultaneously brushed for spine removal and sprayed with water. Ranges of temperature (60–70 °C) and treatment time intervals (10–30 s) were evaluated.
