abstract:
The constantly increasing demand for nutraceuticals
is paralleled by a more pronounced
request for natural ingredients
and health-promoting foods. The multifunctional
properties of cactus pear fit well
this trend. Recently data revealed the high
content of some chemical constituents,
which can give added value to this fruit on
a nutritional and technological functionality
basis: high levels of betalains, taurine,
calcium, and magnesium are noteworthy.
