Oil cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica L.)
Food Chemistry, 2003Seeds and pulp of cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica L.) were compared in terms of fatty acids, lipid classes, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins and b-carotene. Total lipids (TL) in lyophilised seeds and pulp were 98.8 (dry weight) and 8.70 g/kg, respectively.

ENZYMATIC EXTRACTION OF PECTIN FROM OPUNTIA FICUS-INDICA CLADODES
Acta Horticulturae, 2015Within studies about valorisation of agricultural and agro-industrial wastes, in the past the authors have worked on the extraction of mucilage and pectin from cladodes of prickly pear cultivated in Sicily. Mucilage and pectin are hydrocolloids of considerable commercial interest, as gelling, emulsifiers and thickening agents and are used mainly in the

Propagation of Opuntia ficus-indica by cladode fragments
Acta Horticulturae, 2019Agamic propagation of Opuntia ficus-indica by cladode rooting allows a low rate of plant multiplication as compared with other woody plants. One-year-old cladode fragmentation is a possibility for obtaining many small cuttings having homogenous characteristics.

Biosynthesis of indicaxanthin in opuntia ficus-indica fruits
Phytochemistry, 1972Abstract The result of the incorporation of doubly labelled tyrosine into indicaxanthin in the fruits of Opuntia ficus-indica shows that the dihydropyridine moiety of the pigment originates from dopa by extradiol cleavage of the aromatic ring.

BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES OF OPUNTIA FICUS-INDICA (L.) MILL. (CACTACEAE) CLADODES
Acta Horticulturae, 2002This study has the aim to exploit the Opuntia ficus indica (L.) Mill. culture widespread in Sicily, also with the employment of the waste matter (cladodes and unmarketable fruits). Therefore a biological screening on lopping cladodes was performed. Homogenized and lyophilized cladodes of O.

Composition and properties of Opuntia ficus-indica mucilage
Phytochemistry, 1981Abstract The mucilage isolated from Opuntia is shown to contain arabinose, galactose, galacturonic acid, rhamnose and xylose. It has a uronic acid content of ca 10% and a MW of 4.3 × 106. It equilibrates to 175% of its dry wt at 100% relative humidity. Its possible role in the physiology of the plant is discussed.
