“…The presence of the phenolic compounds in prickly pear fruit peel and pulp, due to its antioxidant activity, makes this fruit an important product that can contribute to prevent human degenerative diseases such as cancer, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, arteriosclerosis or cardiovascular and gastric diseases [21,25]. Table 3 shows some compounds found in the most recent studies [5,18,26] about phenolic profile of prickly pear fruit peel and pulp.…”

“…Antioxidant activity in prickly pear fruit and peels may be affected by environmental factors, cultivar, genetic diversity, phenotype, agronomic practices, environmental and climatic conditions and processing of the fruit, among others [40]. Besides, the processing method and the extraction solvent affect antioxidant activity of O. ficus-indica extracts [26].…”

Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill, usually named prickly pear or nopal cactus, is the Cactaceae plant with the greatest economic relevance in the world. It is a tropical or subtropical plant, native to tropical and subtropical America, which can grow in arid and semiarid climates. Prickly pear is mainly known by its fruits, popularly named "tunas" or "figs," but their cladodes are also consumed, principally in Mexico, which is the country with the largest cultivated area and the largest producer. There is ample evidence of the health benefits of prickly pear: it shows high antioxidant activity, it is a source of nutrients and vitamins and it presents medicinal uses, among others. Furthermore, prickly pear presents other uses, including cosmetics, biofuel production, animal nutrition and soil phytoremediation.

“…Numerous studies have showed that the oxidation resistance of phenolic substances is mainly reflected in two aspects. On the one hand, the oxygen content in the environment is reduced by redox reaction (Oberholster et al, 2015;Aruwa et al, 2019). In this process, phenolic substances simultaneously act as hydrogen donors to release hydrogen into the environment.…”

The objective of the research was to evaluate the effect of different oak chip treatments on quality of Longyan dry white wine during aging. Phenolic substances, antioxidant activity and Cu 2+ reduction force were measured. The results showed that wines treated with French oak chips (6 g/L) had significantly higher contents of total phenols (0.083 mg/mL) and flavonoids (0.063 mg/mL), also the highest total antioxidant capacity (47.853 U/mL) was observed. However the scavenging rate of DPPH free radicals and hydroxyl radical scavenging rate were the highest in samples aged with American oak chips (6 g/L) and Yanshan oak chips (2 g/L), respectively. As for 12 monomer phenols determined by high-performance liquid chromatography, French oak chips can contribute to the formation of monomer phenols, especially the generation of syringaldehyde (15.134 mg/L) and guaiacol (17.345 mg/L). Cu 2+ reduction ability of wine sample increased with the increase of oak chips content. Correlation analysis revealed that the monomer phenols had a strong correlation with total antioxidant capacity, DPPH radical scavenging rate and hydroxyl radical scavenging rate. Understanding the influence of oak chips on wine properties could aid to lay a theoretical foundation for the effective use of oak chips in wine.

“…In this sense, many foods have been studied and the technological progress each day finds new biological applications on fruits and fruit products. Among endemic South American edible fruits, we can find Opuntia prickly pear (Aruwa et al, 2019;Smeriglio et al, 2019), chayote pear (Díaz- de-Cerio et al, 2019), cherimola pulp (Albuquerque et al, 2016), strawberry (Baby et al, 2018), maqui (Rivera-Tovar et al, 2019), and murta (Rivera-Tovar et al, 2019) among others.…”

Corryocactus brevistylus (K. Schum. ex Vaupel) Britton & Rose (Cactaceae): Antioxidant, Gastroprotective Effects, and Metabolomic Profiling by Ultrahigh-Pressure Liquid Chromatography and Electrospray High Resolution Orbitrap Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Corryocactus brevistylus (K. Schum. ex Vaupel) Britton & Rose (Cactaceae) is a shrubby or often arborescent cactus popularly known as "sancayo" and produce an edible fruit known as "Sanky" which is consumed in Arequipa-Perú. The purpose of this study was to report the gastroprotective activity and relate this activity to the antioxidant capacity and presence of phenolic compounds for the first time. A metabolomic profiling based on Ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography and electrospray high resolution mass spectrometry, and the antioxidant activities (DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP), ascorbic acid content, total phenolics and flavonoids contents, and the mode of gastroprotective action of the Sanky fruit including the involvement of prostaglandins, nitric oxide, and sulfhydryl compounds is reported. Thirty-eight compounds were detected in the ethanolic extract including 12 organic acids, nine hydroxycinnamic acids, three isoamericanol derivatives, six flavonoids, five fatty acids, and two sterols. The results of the biological tests showed that the ethanolic extract had antioxidant capacity and gastroprotective activity on the model of HCl/EtOH-induced gastric lesions in mice (at 10, 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg). The effect elicited by the extract at 50 mg/kg was reversed by indometacin and Nethylmaleimide but not by N G-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester suggesting that sulfhydryl groups and prostaglandins are involved in the mode of gastroprotective action.
