Bioactive Compounds of <i>Opuntia</i> spp. Acid Fruits: Micro and Nano-Emulsified Extracts and Applications in Nutraceutical Foods

The acid fruit of the "xoconostle" cactus belongs to the genus <i>Opuntia</i> family of cacti. It is used as a functional food for its bioactive compounds. Several studies reported that xoconostle fruits have a high amount of ascorbic acid, betalains, phenols, tannins, and flav...
