Abstract

The present study aims to identify and characterize the chemical compounds present in the extracts of cactus pear Opuntia dillenii (OD) fruit which grow in southern Iraq and offer different health benefits. The physicochemical properties of the fruit juices (pulp and peels) were investigated. Fruit pulp and peel extracts carried the symbols: hexane pulp extract (HPuE), hexane peel extract (HPeE), ethanolic pulp extract (EPuE), and ethanolic peels extract (EPeE). The activel compound screened by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). HPuE and HPeE contained 40 bioactive compounds and 60 bioactive compounds were detected in EPuE and EPeE. The scavenging activity of DPPH free radicals records a high level of inhibition ranging from 34.8 to 90.3% for EPeE and from 32.9 to 89.9% for EPuE, while hexane extracts scavenging activities (HPeE and HPuE) were 24.9-78.9% and 20.7-73.3% respectively at concentrations of 20 – 80 µg.ml-1 this activity has received considerable attention because of their physiological functions

仙人掌(Opuntia dellienii)果实(果肉和果皮)抗氧化活性及其活性物质的GC-MS表征

本研究旨在鉴定和表征仙人掌梨(OD)果实提取物中存在的化合物，该果实生长在伊拉克南部，并提供不同的健康益处。对果汁(果肉和果皮)的理化性质进行了研究。果肉和果皮提取物的代号为:己烷果肉提取物(HPuE)、己烷果皮提取物(HPeE)、乙醇果肉提取物(EPuE)和乙醇果皮提取物(EPeE)。采用气相色谱-质谱联用技术对活性化合物进行了筛选。HPuE和HPeE中含有40种生物活性化合物，EPuE和EPeE中检测到60种生物活性化合物。正己烷提取物对DPPH自由基的清除率在20 ~ 80µg浓度下分别为34.8% ~ 90.3%和32.9 ~ 89.9%，而正己烷提取物对HPeE和HPuE的清除率分别为24.9% ~ 78.9%和20.7% ~ 73.3%。Ml-1的这种活性由于其生理功能而受到相当的关注
