“…To the best of our knowledge, there are some studies about total phenolic contents and minerals of flowers, cladodes, seeds, and juices of O. ficus-indica and a few other Opuntia spp. [11,12,14] Despite an extensive literature search, information on the individual phenolic compounds and mineral contents of O. robusta and O. ficus-barbarica, which were detected using by UPLC-ESI-MS/MS and ICP/MS, respectively, are not available in the literature.…”

“…Recently, there is an increasing interest in finding naturally occurring antioxidants for use in foods or medicinal materials to replace synthetic antioxidants, which are restricted due to their carcinogenicity and toxicity. [14] Phenolic compounds, as secondary metabolites, have ability to reduce oxidative damage joint with many diseases including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, cataract, arthritis, and diabetes. [9,15] The antioxidant properties of the phenolic compounds in cactus pear plants make them an important product for preventing human health against degenerative diseases such as cancer, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, arteriosclerosis, or cardiovascular and gastric diseases.…”

“…The crude extracts of T. ammi(ajwain) and C. sinensis (TAc, CSc for ajwain and green tea crude extract respectively) were fractionated into neutral (TAn, CSn for ajwain and green tea neutral fraction respectively ) and acidic polyphenols (TAa, CSa for ajwain and green tea acidic fraction respectively) while T. catappa was fractionated into anthocyanin and non-anthocyanin fraction. All the fractions were then analyzed for total phenolics [13].…”

The food packaging material provides protection against moisture, heat, enzymes, oxygen penetration etc. The shelf life of food can be increased by coating barrier materials on plastic films. In this work the oxygen transfer rate (OTR) and water vapour permeability (WVP) of Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films were adjusted via coating of Polyphenols and Gelatin mixture (PGM) with different concentrations while maintaining the other properties of modified PET films. This article deals with the changes in properties of PGM coated PET films with some innovative ideas of multilayer film formulation. Polyphenolics were extracted from Terminalia Catappa (Indian almond), Camellia sinensis (Green tea leaves) and Trachyspermumammi (Ajwain). The results showed that WVP was decreased from 1.0±0 to 0.12±0.03 g/in2/day (p < 0.01) in comparison with uncoated (1.3±0.07g/in2/day). Similarly, same trend was obtained for OTR (63.5±0.02 to 38.1±0.03g/in2/day) with respect to uncoated film (82 ± 3.5). This study provides important evidence that addition of PGM on PET films leads to improved films in terms of OTR and WVP with minor changes in optical properties.

Epiphyllum, Hylocereus, and Opuntia plants belong to the Cactaceae family. They are mostly known as ornamental plants but also for their edible fruits, which can potentially be sources of betalains, such as betanin, a natural pigment used in the food industry, e.g., under the European label code E 162. The aim of this work was the identification of betalains (using LC-MS/MS), evaluation of total betalain content (spectrophotometrically), analysis of functional groups (using FT-IR), evaluation of antioxidant activity (using DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, DCFH-DA, and reducing power methods) and evaluation of antimicrobial activity (S. aureus, E. coli, and C. albicans) in fruits of Epiphyllum, Hylocereus, and Opuntia taxa. A total of 20 betalains were identified in the studied Cactaceae fruits. The Epiphyllum pink hybrid had the highest values of total betalains amongst all samples. The highest antioxidant activity was observed in the Epiphyllum pink hybrid, in Opuntia zacuapanensis and O. humifusa fruits. The antimicrobial activity assay showed that cacti fruits were not able to effectively inhibit the growth of E. coli, S. aureus, or C. albicans. Our results prove that these fruits are good sources of natural pigments—betalains. They do not contain toxic compounds in significant amounts and they exhibit antioxidant activity.
