Abstract Betalains are plant pigments with biological properties and can be used instead of synthetic colorants to confer color functional foods. The objective this work was carry out the chemical characterization two varieties prickly pear Opuntia ficus‐indica , one yellow‐orange coloration ( Mandarina ) other purple Vigor ), through measurements parameters in pulp, antioxidant activity, total phenolic compounds, betalain content. Considering thermolability betalains their potential...
There is a growing interest in obtaining bioactive compounds from underexplored plant organisms such as jiotilla (Escontria chiotilla), species of the Cactaceae family whose fruit source betalains and phenolic compounds. Therefore, it relevant to establish an extraction methodology that allows higher yield greater functional activity be obtained. In this study, conventional process was optimized obtain betalains, compounds, antioxidant extracts results were compared with those obtained by...
