Prickly pear peel (Opuntia ficus-indica) residues can be used as a substrate in solid-state fermentation to obtain bioactive compounds. The kinetic growth of some Aspergillus strains was evaluated. A Box–Hunter and Hunter design evaluate the independent factors used. These were temperature (°C), inoculum (spores/g), humidity (%), pH, NaNO3 (g/L), MgSO4 KCl KH2PO4 (g/L). response amount hydrolyzable condensed tannins. antioxidant antimicrobial activity extracts niger GH1 HT3 best for accumulating humidity, inoculum, affect release Treatment 13 (low values temperature, NaNO3, MgSO4; high KCl, KH2PO4) resulted 32.9 mg/g tannins being obtained; while treatment 16 (high all evaluated) 3.5 obtained. In addition, fermented showed higher compared unfermented extracts. Treatments low inhibition E. coli, Alternaria sp., Botrytis spp. process involving prickly favors accumulation tannins, with antifungal activity.

Nowadays, there is a growing interest in the exploitation of by-products from fruits and vegetables, generated industrial processing or human feeding. Residues popularly consumed such as orange, lemon, banana, pomegranate, among others, have been widely described studied; however, cactus pear (Opuntia spp.) residues, locally product, forgotten. The whole fruit can be divided into edible portion (pulp) non-edible (seeds peel). Several studies mainly focus on characteristics fruit, ignoring peels, which are rich compounds phenols, flavonoids dietary fiber; they also proposed an alternative source lipids, carbohydrates natural colorants. Some uses peel reported food additives, supplements, pectins for wastewater treatment; not any deep investigations potential (CPP). aim present paper to provide overview current research CPP. CPP has many bio-active that may health benefits useful pharmaceutical, manufacturing industries; greater needed order gain thorough knowledge possibilities this by-product.

In this study, the characterization of fatty acids and secondary metabolites in seeds three cultivars Opuntia ficus-indica L. (O. ficus-indica, yellow, orange, green) harvested from Souk Ahras area Northeast Algeria was performed. The antioxidant activity seed extracts also assessed by using two methods, namely FRAP DPPH tests. Results show that total phenolic content (TPC) ranged 63.02 to 81.80 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/100 g seeds. yellow cultivar had highest TPC, followed orange green cultivars. Concerning flavonoids tannins, showed higher concentrations, corresponding 2.97 quercetin equivalent (QE)/100 5.60 catechin (CE)/100 g, respectively. Analysis HPLC revealed presence compounds, including chlorogenic acid, while GC analysis oil prickly pear is a major source essential (C18:2). activities were comparable. EC50 for reduction ferric iron almost 0.05 g/mL all extracts. Regarding scavenging DPPH, capacity (EC50 = 0.26 g/mL). Linear correlations between some antioxidants (flavonoids, tannins) different observed, indicating their participation latter. Above all, significant inverse correlation flavonoid calculated reducing observed (r −0.657; p ≤ 0.05). Overall, results indicate O. growing can be exploited as valuable sources table oil, cooking antioxidants.
