Abstract

Abstract: There are nine species of Nopalea and the most widely distributed is N. cochenillifera (L.) Salm-Dyck. This species and its wild congeners inhabit dry and subhumid tropical and subtropical regions in western and eastern Mexico down to Panama. In Mexico, its tender, young cladodes (known locally as nopalitos) and flower buds (tunitas) are eaten as vegetables, its developed cladodes are used as forage in different parts of the world, and the plants are used as living fences and also as ornamentals. The fruits of N. cochenillifera have received little attention in the specialized literature; therefore, the purpose of this note is to describe a set of fruits that was bought in a traditional market in San Luis Potosí, México. The fruits of N. cochenillifera were, on average, two centimeters shorter than those reported in the literature; by weight, the pulp accounted for 45.70 % on average, the peel 48.07 % and the seeds 6.23 %. Mean sweetness was 10.62 oBrix, somewhat lower than that of Opuntia cultivars, which is 12.95. Due to the lack of abortive seeds, we infer that the fruit of Nopalea have been of little interest to humans.
cochenillifera (L.)果实描述Salm-Dyck在Rioverde传统市场出售,圣路易斯Potosí,墨西哥
摘要Nopalea共有9种,分布最广的是N. cochenillifera (L.)Salm-Dyck。这个物种和它的野生同系物居住在墨西哥西部和东部到巴拿马的干燥和半湿润的热带和亚热带地区。在墨西哥,其幼嫩的枝状花序(当地称为nopalitos)和花蕾(tunitas)被当作蔬菜食用,其发达的枝状花序在世界各地被用作饲料,这些植物被用作活栅栏,也被用作观赏植物。cochenillifera的果实在专门文献中很少受到关注;因此,本说明的目的是描述在圣路易斯的一个传统市场上购买的一套水果Potosí, m xico。cochenillifera的果实平均比文献报道的短2厘米;按重量计,果肉平均占45.70%,果皮平均占48.07%,种子平均占6.23%。平均甜度为10.62 oBrix,略低于Opuntia品种的12.95 oBrix。由于缺乏流产的种子,我们推断Nopalea的果实对人类的兴趣不大。
