Nopalea cochenillifera (L.) Salm-Dyck, antioxidant capacity, dietary fiber, bioactive compounds, physicochemical characterizationAbstract
Nopalea cochenillifera (L.) Salm-Dyck is a scarcely studied cactus; its characterization contributes to identifying the bioactive compounds it contains and its functional properties, which will allow generating information on potential uses and applications. The aim of this work was to characterize N. cochenillifera cladodes flour physicochemically and identify the phenolic compounds that it contains. In general, N. cochenillifera flour is low in calories (337%) with high total dietary fiber content (18.41%). In addition, it exhibits good water (11.04%) and oil (2.05%) absorption capacity, while swelling capacity was 25 mL/g DW. The content of soluble and hydrolyzable polyphenols were 207.92 and 647.99 mg EAG/100 g DW, respectively. In addition, they showed antioxidant activity by DPPH• (15.28 mmol TE/g DW), FRAP (20.97 mmol TE/g DW), and ABTS•+ (51.31 mmol TE/g DW) methods. Furthermore, six phenolic acids (gallic, ferulic, chlorogenic, p-coumaric, syringic, and neochlorogenic) were identified by HPLC. According to the results, N. cochenillifera cladodes flour is an important source of fiber and bioactive compounds with interesting functional properties. In this context, N. cochenillifera flour could be used as an ingredient in the formulation of functional foods. However, further, studies are needed on the shelf life and optimizing its preservation process, transformation, and functional potential.
