Natural colourants analysis and biological activities. Association to molecular markers to explore the biodiversity of Opuntia species

Abstract: Introduction: Synthetic colourants are subject to various allergies. As a result, the use of plant-based additives has proved promising. Objective: It is in this perspective that our objective was undertaken to investigate natural colourants from edible cactus. Opuntia species populations were singlesequence repeat (SSR) fingerprinted, the analysis of betalains and phenolic compounds and the evaluation of their biological potentials were also characterised. Results: Photometric quantification of betalains and … Show more

“…The studied Opuntia stricta var. Dillenii samples in this work showed an interesting profile of betalains and phenolic compounds; mainly related to their content in betanin, a betacyanin associated with in vitro anti-inflammatory activity and hepatic protective functions [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ]. Prickly pears ( Opuntia ficus-indica ) and Opuntia stricta var.…”

“…O. ficus-indica fruits can present large color differences among cultivars, varying from green to white, yellow to orange and red to purple. These variations can be attributed to the betalain type pigments [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. Fruits are highly flavored and a source of interesting and useful compounds, such as polyphenols [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ], dietary fibers [ 17 , 18 , 19 ], carotenoids [ 9 , 20 ] vitamins [ 21 ], minerals [ 22 ] and amino acids [ 23 , 24 ].…”
