Chemical Composition and Bioactivities of Egyptian Opuntia ficus–indica Seeds Oils Obtained by Conventional and Ultrasound-assisted Extraction Techniques
Abstract:The main objective of the current work was to assess the suitability of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) for the oil recovery from Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill. (O. ficus indica) seeds as compared to conventional extraction technique; Soxhlet extraction (SE). In the present study, the recovery oil yield, the saponifiable and unsaponifiable lipids of seeds oils obtained by different extraction methods, were compared. In addition, determination of the wound healing and analgesic activities of the plant see… Show more
