Chahdoura, Hassiba published the artcileBioactivity, hydrophilic, lipophilic and volatile compounds in pulps and skins of Opuntia macrorhiza and Opuntia microdasys fruits, Application of Methyl octanoate, the main research area is Opuntia hydrophilicity lipophilicity pulp skin fruit.
Opuntia genus includes several species able to grow in arid regions and known for producing delicate fruits, which are far from being thoroughly characterized. Herein, fruits from O. macrorhiza and O. microdasys were divided in skins and pulps (without including seeds) and studied for chem. composition, individual phytochems. and bioactivity. The major volatiles were camphor and Et acetate, while citric acid was the main organic acid. The fatty acids detected in highest percentages were linoleic acid (skins) and lauric acid (pulps); α-tocopherol was the major isoform of vitamin E. Quercetin-3-O-rutinoside and quercetin-O-(deoxyhexoside-rutinoside) were the main phenolics in fruit skins of O. macrorhiza and O. microdasys (resp.), similarly to piscidic acid in O. macrorhiza pulp (O. microdasys pulp showed no quantifiable compounds). Betanin and isobetanin were the major betalains. All samples were antioxidant (particularly O. macrorhiza), but antimicrobial activity was only detected in skins. Cytotoxicity was low in all cases. Overall, these fruits proved to be potential new ingredients for food or pharmaceutical related applications, adding value to these natural species able to grow in arid environments.
LWT–Food Science and Technology published new progress about Antimicrobial agents. 111-11-5 belongs to class esters-buliding-blocks, name is Methyl octanoate, and the molecular formula is C9H18O2, Application of Methyl octanoate.
