“…Biotechnology taking advantage of the mucilage has created edible films linked whit the DM and its mechanical behavior 41 . They are defined as a thin layer of edible material that reduces the loss of food ingredients, such as nutrients, flavour, antimicrobials and antioxidants; this by decreasing the respiration rate 42 . Another application of mucilage used in biotechnology is its application as an encapsulator, where it is mentioned that mucilage increases the encapsulation performance, due to its low viscosity and its ability to interact with each other, to form networks that function as walls 43 .…”

Background and Objective: Cactus Opuntia spp. is cultivated and widely distributed in Mexico, traditionally is used as a food. In the last years, the production of this Cactaceae has increased and now the waste matter of the crop is a problem because of the amounts collected. This waste matter is translated into monetary losses for farmers, to decrease these monetary losses in the last years some strategies have been implemented. Materials and Methods: In this study were analyzed different strategies, projects, the development of bioproducts and patents are used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, construction, food and beverage industries. In addition, have the objective of reducing the environmental impact, related whit the ecological economy. Besides, the use of nopal in projects was related to the degree of methyl esterification of the supernatant residue obtained from acid hydrolysis (mucilage). Results: This study concludes that the mucilage, dietary fibre and vitamins present in the waste matter are compounds important to industries. Conclusion: The perspectives suggest the use of these chemical compounds located in nopal waste matter for different products, plus the improvement production chains, post-harvest treatments and the application of technology production.

Nopal cladodes (NC) are considered a source of fibers and bioactive compounds with high antioxidant properties, so their application as biofiller and bioactive agent in starch films has generated interest. To improve NC incorporation into starch film, NC was chemically treated at different pH values (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12). The physical, mechanical, and active properties of cassava starch/NC composite films were evaluated. Increasing the alkaline treatment of NC, the composite films were more homogeneous, less hydrophilic, more elongable and less mechanically resistant. Thus, alkaline NC treatment at pH 12 yielded the most elongable (72.3%) and hydrophobic (contact angle = 71.8°), but the least mechanically resistant (1.7 MPa) cassava starch/NC film. Meanwhile, alkaline treatment of NC at pH 11 provided films with better functional properties and antioxidant properties, as measured by DPPH• (74.6%) or ABTS•+ (16.6 μm Trolox/g of film) radical scavenging, as well as hydrophobic surface (64.6°) and improved mechanical resistance (2.5 MPa). Nevertheless, the composite cassava starch/NC films obtained here did not exhibit antimicrobial activity. In conclusion, chemical treatment improved the performance of NC to be used as an additive to produce starch composite films less hydrophilic and with antioxidant property that can help to preserve foods sensitive to oxidation (e.g., nuts and dehydrated fruits).Highlights NC flour contains phenolic compounds, protein, lipids, carbohydrate and fibers. Compounds removed in the NC treatment affected the properties of films. Alkaline NC treatment contributed to increase the elongation of composite film. Alkaline NC treatment decreased the hydrophilicity of composite film. NC treated at pH 11 yielded films with suitable properties for food packaging.
