Extraction and Physicochemical Characterization of Mucilage from Opuntia cochenillifera (L.) Miller
The aim of this study was to extract mucilage from O. cochenillifera (L.) cacti and determine its functional and physicochemical properties. The best mucilage yield (31%) was obtained by nonthermal extraction with hydration. The mucilage has appreciable carbohydrate and protein contents. The phytoch...
