Provedor de dados: 52
Autores: Araújo,Lúcia de Fátima; Medeiros,Ariosvaldo Nunes; Perazzo Neto,Américo; Oliveira,Líbia de Sousa Conrado; Silva,Flávio Luiz Honorato da.
The microbial protein bioconversion of cactus pear by yeast in solid medium was studied. Three cultivation variables used were: inoculum's concentrations (5, 10 and 15 %), substrate layer thickness (2, 4 and 6 cm) and temperature (30, 34 and 38 ºC). The rate of dry matter production and total protein were determined. Results obtained were variance analysis, gross energy and in vitro dry matter digestibility. The maximum protein amount achieved for the conditions studied in the present work was higher than 26 %, which was compatible or greater than those of conventional concentrates of protein supplements used for animal feed. The protein concentrate of cactus pear had a higher in vitro digestibility index (95.8 %) and did not show any changes in the gross...

Biology, Flowering and Fruiting of the Cactus Opuntia spp.: A Review and Some Observations on Three Varieties in Morocco
Provedor de dados: 52
Autores: Arba,Mohamed; Falisse,André; Choukr-Allah,Redouane; Sindic,Marianne.
ABSTRACT The cactus is a succulent plant resistant to droughts. According to the recently reviewed classification, cacti belong to the family of Opuntiaceae Desv. (synon. Cactaceae Juss.) with Opuntia Mill. as the typical genus. This genus is economically the most important in the family, as it includes a group of cactus pear plants which play an important role in the agricultural systems of arid and semi-arid regions. Flowering of the cactus pear fruit is an important determinant of the fruit harvesting period. The goal of this paper is to present the physiology of the cactus pear and to explain in detail the biology of its flowering and fruiting processes. This study is also enriched by our observations on the flowering and fruiting of three varieties of...

Abstract The prickly pear is a cactaceae that have chemical compounds that act as natural antioxidants. In addition, the prickly pear is a plant widely used in semiarid region as it’s considered very important forage for animal feed, especially in the dry season. The objectives of this research were to characterize the main classes of phytochemicals, determine the phenols content, flavonoids and anthocyanins and evaluate the antioxidant activity of the prickly pear cultivars Opuntia and Nopalea grown in the semiarid region of Pernambuco in two collection periods (dry and rainy). In the work crude ethanol extracts from cladodes of cultivars (IPA-20, Elephant Ear Mexican, F-08, V-19, Small palm, F-21 and IPA-Sertânia) were used. As for the class of...

Revalorization of cactus pear (Opuntia spp.) wastes as a source of antioxidants
Provedor de dados: 116
Autores: Cardador-Martínez,Anaberta; Jiménez-Martínez,Cristian; Sandoval,Georgina.
Recently, an increased interest in antioxidant activity and health-improving capacity of cactus pear has been registered. The antioxidant capacity of the pulp of cactus-pear fruits has been previously assessed. In this work, total phenolics, flavonoids and tannins of peel and seeds of four cactus pear cultivars were examined as well as their antioxidant capacity. Tannins were the major phenolics in cactus pear seeds accounting for almost fifty percent for all cultivars. Analysis of variance revealed that ripeness, cultivar, and its interaction had highly significant effect on the total phenolics, tannin, and flavonoid contents of cactus pear peel. With regard to the seeds, only the stage of ripeness and interaction (ripeness stage x cultivar) were...

Efecto de la fertilización de nopal (Opuntia ficus-indica) sobre la productividad y calidad de grana cochinilla (Dactylopius coccus Costa).
Provedor de dados: 32
Autores: Coronado Flores, Violeta.
La grana (Dactylopius coccus Costa) es la única fuente del colorante natural rojo carmín utilizado ampliamente en las industrias farmacéutica, alimentaria y cosmética. Este colorante es considerado uno de los más seguros desde el punto de vista de inocuidad y está permitido por legislaciones alimentarias en diversos países, su creciente demanda ha estimulado la investigación para obtener mayor producción y calidad del insecto. Se evalúo el efecto de la fertilización del nopal Opuntia ficus-indica, substrato alimenticio del insecto; sobre la producción y calidad en función del ácido carmínico (AC) contenido, en la grana Dactylopius coccus Costa, y su viabilidad económica. Se utilizó un diseño de parcelas divididas. Los resultados se analizaron con un ANDEVA...
