“…Bly. Ex Rowl, Cactaceae, popularly known as "xique-xique", is an endemic plant species from Brazilian Caatinga biome and considered an unconventional and sub-utilized edible plant (de Assis et al 2019;Monteiro et al 2015). In semi-arid region of northeast Brazil, xique-xique has been traditionally consumed by local population using uncommon processing methods to formulate a variety of products, such as juices, jellies, cake, flour and couscous, some of them commercialized in small scale (de Almeida et al 2007;de Assis et al 2019).…”

Increased consumption of xique-xique has stimulated investigations on its nutritional composition, bioactive compounds and health-promoting properties (Monteiro et al 2015;Sousa et al 2018).…”

This study evaluated in vitro the potential prebiotic effects of a freeze-dried juice extracted from cladodes of Pilosocereus gounellei (A. Weber ex K. Schum.) Bly. Ex Rowl, an unconventional edible plant from Brazilian Caatinga biome and popularly known as xique-xique. Prebiotic effects of freeze-dried xique-xique cladode juice (XCJ, 20 g/L) were evaluated by measurements of prebiotic activity scores and stimulatory effects on growth and metabolic activities of probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-05, L. casei L-26 and L. paracasei L-10, which are beneficial species found as part of human gut microbiota. XCJ showed positive prebiotic activity scores on all examined probiotics, indicating a selective stimulatory effect on these microorganisms in detriment to enteric pathogens. Examined probiotics had high viable counts (> 8 log CFU/mL) after 48 h of cultivation in media with XCJ (20 g/L), representing an increase of > 2 log CFU/mL when compared to viable counts found on time zero. Cultivation of probiotics in media with XCJ resulted in decreased pH during the 48 h-incubation. Contents of fructose and glucose decreased in media with XCJ inoculated with L. acidophilus LA-05, L. casei L-26 or L. paracasei L-10 during the 48 h-cultivation, in parallel with an increase in contents of acetic and lactic acids. Measured effects of XCJ on probiotics were overall similar to those exerted by fructoligosaccharides (20 g/L), a proven prebiotic ingredient. These results showed that XCJ could exert selective stimulatory effects on different Lactobacillus species, which are indicative of potential prebiotic properties.

“…The xique-xique is a natural resource that makes an important contribution to the livelihood of local populations in the semiarid region of northeastern Brazil (Monteiro et al 2015). It has been used as animal food, human food, human medicine, and veterinary medicine, besides serving for construction, as ornament, in personal hygiene, as bio-indicator of rain when blooming, and in technology, among other uses (Silva 2015) (Table 3).…”

“…(common name: Mandacaru), Pilosocereus pachycladus Ritter (common name: Facheiro) and Pilosocereus gounellei (A. Weber ex K. Schum). Bly ex Rowl (common name: Xique-xique), have great forage potential because they are adapted to the region's edaphoclimatic conditions, enabling satisfactory dry matter yields per unit area, source of energy and fiber (Lucena et al, 2013;Monteiro et al, 2015;Carvalho et al, 2018).…”

This study aimed to evaluate the chemical and minerals composition, fractions of carbohydrate and nitrogen compounds, kinetics of degradation and in vitro gas production of native cactus species of the brazilian Semiarid. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design, with five native cactus species and 4 replications per species were randomly selected. The native cactus species evaluated were: Cereus jamacaru DC., Melocactus bahiensis Br. Et Rose Werderm, Opuntia inamoene K. Schum, Pilosocereus gounellei (A. Weber ex K. Schum) Bly ex Rowl and Pilosocereus pachycladus Ritter, all in natura. The native cactus species showed differences for chemical and mineral compositions (P <0.05). The nitrogenous components, C. jamacaru cactaceae presented higher contents of fractions A (228.1 g/kg CP) and B3 (241.7 g/kg CP) and smaller fraction C (174.0 g/kg CP). For carbohydrate fraction C. jamacaru presented lower fractions A + B1 (412.2 g/kg TC) and C (38.2 g/kg TC) and high fraction B2 (549.7 g/kg TC) and low fraction C. The cactus C. jamacaru and M. bahiensis presented a high PD (856.6 and 837.9 g/kg DM, respectively). The parameters a and b and the effective degradability present diferences (P<0.05) in function of 2% and 5% passage rate. The in vitro true digestibility of dry matter was above 700 g/kg of DM for all species. Cactus have high levels of potentially digestible fractions of total carbohydrates, indicating their importance as food for ruminants in created in the semiarid, where Caatinga vegetation is a basal resource.
