“…According to variance analysis results, effect of location on oil contents, oleic acid, linoleic acid and erusic acid contents of prickly pear seed and oils were significant in p < 0.01 level. El Mannoubi, Barrek, Skanji, Casabianca, and Zarrouk (), Matthaus and Özcan () and Chougui et al () studied on physico‐chemical properties of different O. ficus‐indica seed and oils, and they determined 5.0–14.4% oil (in dry matter) in the seeds. Oil contents of prickly pear fruit seeds provided from different locations in our study were in the range reported by Matthaus and Özcan ().…”

Total phenolics, β‐carotene, and ascorbic acid contents of cactus fruits varied between 490.74 and 932.87 mg/100 g, 40.93 and 130.76 µg/kg, and 124.82 and 240.25 mg/kg, respectively. K and Ca values of prickly pear fruits changed between 1,908.10 and 3,981.90 mg/kg, and 136.79 and 1,224 mg/kg, respectively. Amounts of gallic acid, 3,4‐dihydroxybenzoic acid, catechin, 1,2‐dihydroxybenzene, syringic acid contents of prickly pear fruit pulps ranged from 0.86 to 166.02 mg/kg, 2.17 to 4.75 mg/kg, 3.29 to 15.55 mg/kg, and 1.63 to 14.14 mg/kg, respectively. Palmitic, stearic, oleic, and linoleic acids values of seed oils changed between 11.22 and 11.77%, 2.97 and 3.23%, 13.61 and 15.46%, and 60.94 and 63.38%, respectively. Effect of location on seed oil, brixo, saccharose, raffinose, total phenolic content, β‐carotene, ascorbic acid values of prickly pear fruits and oleic acid, linoleic acid, erusic acid contents of seed oils is significant in p < 0.01 level. Practical applications Prickly pears grown in limited quantities in Turkey can be used as fresh fruit, juice, jam, and marmalade due to rich in total phenol, phenolic constituents, mineral contents, and antioxidant activity. Because, 3,4‐dihydroxybenzoic acid, 1,2‐Dihydroxybenzene, gallic acid, catechin, quercetin, resveratrol, isorhamnetinreadily absorbable carbohydrates, minerals, vitamin C, and soluble fibers are main components of prickly pear fruits. Their seeds considered as waste material during fruit processing can be used as industrial oil due to fatty acid compositions. Prickly pear fruits due to mineral contents can provide tonic effect.

“…The result of the acute oral toxicity test shows that the product is safe at doses up to 5 ml kg À1 . It has been reported that the lipid fraction of O. ficus-indica seed oil contains polyunsaturated fatty acids (linoleic acid) and monounsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid), and the unsaponifiable fraction contains liposoluble vitamins (tocopherols, vitamin K1), sterols, and carotenoids (b-carotene) (Ennouri et al, 2005;Mannoubi et al, 2009;Oguzhan et al, 2006;Ramadan & Morsel, 2003). The omega-3 fatty acids increase the insulin secretion stimulated by D-glucose by contact with Langerhans islet beta cells (Oguzhan et al, 2006).…”

Context: Cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill. (Cactaceae)) is a medicinal plant widely used to treat diabetes. Objective: This work investigates the hypoglycemic and antihyperglycemic effect of cactus pear seed oil (CPSO), its mechanism of action, and any toxic effects. Materials and methods: The hypoglycemic effect of CPSO was evaluated in groups of six healthy Wistar rats given 1 or 2 ml kg À1 orally and compared with groups receiving glibenclamide (2 mg kg À1 ) or water. Glycemia was determined after 30, 60, 120, 240, and 360 min. The antihyperglycemic effect of CPSO was determined in healthy rats and in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats (STZ); normal rats received 0.8 ml kg À1 CPSO, while diabetic rats received 1 ml kg À1 CPSO, their controls received water or 2 mg kg À1 glibenclamide. For the antihyperglycemic effect evaluation, all the animals were fasted for 16 h before treatment and received glucose orally at 1 g kg À1 30 min after treatment; blood was taken after 30, 90, 150, and 210 min. Intestinal glucose absorption was estimated in rat jejunum perfused with a solution containing 5.55 mmol l À1 glucose. Acute toxicity was determined in albino mice that received oral or intraperitoneal doses of 1, 3, or 5 ml kg À1 CPSO. Results: CPSO (p.o.) decreased postprandial hyperglycemia (60 min after glucose loading), 40.33% and 16.01%, in healthy and STZ-diabetic glucose-loaded rats, respectively. CPSO, also, significantly decreased intestinal glucose absorption by 25.42%. No adverse effects were seen in mice administered CPSO at up to 5 ml kg À1. Conclusion: CPSO is antihyperglycemic. The effect can be explained partly by inhibition of intestinal glucose absorption.

“…According to Karleskind (1992) showing the relative stability to oxidation of these oils. The high iodine value and oxidative stability show that the seed oils uphold the good qualities of edible oil (Mannoubi et al 2009). The single-dose toxicity test should be conducted in such a way that signs of acute-toxicity and death are revealed.…”

Opuntia ficus indica and Pistacia lentiscus L. seeds are used in traditional medicine. The objective of this study was to investigate the toxicity of the fixed oil of Opuntia ficus indica and Pistacia lentiscus L. seeds in mice through determination of LD 50 values, and also the physicochemical characteristics of the fixed oil of these oils. The acute toxicity of their fixed oil were also investigated in mice using the method of Kabba and Berhens. The fixed oil of Pistacia lentiscus and Opuntia ficus indica seeds were extracted and analyzed for its chemical and physical properties such as acid value, free fatty acid percentage (% FFA), iodine index, and saponification value as well as refractive index and density. LD 50 values obtained by single doses, orally and intraperitoneally administered in mice, were respectively 43 ± 0,8 ;[40.7-45.4 ] ml/kg body wt. p.o. and 2.72 ± 0,1 ;[2.52-2.92] ml/kg body wt. i.p. for Opuntia ficus indica ; and 37 ± 1 ; [34.4 -39.8 ] ml/kg body wt. p.o. and 2.52 ± 0,2 ;[2.22 -2.81 ] ml/kg body wt. i.p. for Pistacia lentiscus respectively. The yields of seed oil were respectively calculated as 20.25% and 10.41%. The acid and free fatty acid values indicated that the oil has a low acidity
