Abstract
Cacti species are attractive to consumers because of their excellent flavor and color. The food industry is interested in their nutritional, bioactive, and technological properties. Therefore, the use of cacti in human food has been analyzed through patent documents, emphasizing their role in worldwide food production. The search was conducted using INPI and Espacenet databases. Eighty-five documents were analyzed for document characteristics (year of filing, country of origin, inventors, applicants, and IPC and CPC codes) and invention characteristics (cactus species, parts used, and application purposes). Beverages, jellies, and bakery products have been developed; however, most patents do not specify the parts or species of cacti used. The application of cactus in food product development is still incipient, considering the number of patents recovered. However, the growing global concerns about food and health are changing, showing the extent of cacti use for food and nutraceutical development and their application as a food additive.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Food Science and Technology (JFST) is the official publication of the Association of Food Scientists and Technologists of India (AFSTI). This monthly publishes peer-reviewed research papers and reviews in all branches of science, technology, packaging and engineering of foods and food products. Special emphasis is given to fundamental and applied research findings that have potential for enhancing product quality, extend shelf life of fresh and processed food products and improve process efficiency. Critical reviews on new perspectives in food handling and processing, innovative and emerging technologies and trends and future research in food products and food industry byproducts are also welcome. The journal also publishes book reviews relevant to all aspects of food science, technology and engineering.
