There is a lack of information on the potential use of xoconostle cultivars as sources of antioxidants for food, pharmaceutical and colorant industries. The aim of this study was to provide a phytochemical characterisation and antioxidant activity evaluation of Opuntia matudae Scheinvar cv. Rosa by-products (epicarp and endocarp mucilage's), in order to evaluate their interest as sources of functional ingredients for human or animal foods. These by-products showed a high content in glucose, citric and linoleic acids, tocopherols, and isorhamnetin-O-(di-deoxyhexosyl-hexoside) (mainly in epicarp), and presented relevant antioxidant properties. The obtained results support the use of O. matudae Scheinvar cv. Rosa agro-industrial by-products as functional food ingredients, namely for antioxidant-enriched formulations, instead of being discarded.
关于利用仙人球属植物品种作为食品、制药和色素工业的抗氧化剂的潜在用途，相关信息还很缺乏。本研究的目的是对仙人球属植物马图德种 Rosa 品种的副产物（果皮和内果皮胶的黏液）进行植物化学特性描述和抗氧化活性评估，以评估它们作为人类或动物食品的功能性成分的应用潜力。这些副产物中葡萄糖、柠檬酸和亚油酸、生育酚和异鼠李素-O-（二去氧己糖基-己糖苷）（主要存在于果皮中）的含量很高，且具有显著的抗氧化特性。研究结果支持将仙人球属植物马图德种 Rosa 农业工业副产物用作功能性食品成分，例如用于富含抗氧化剂的配方，而不是被丢弃。
