Abstract :
[en] Prickly pear peel flour (PPF) byproduct is an attractive source of fibers. Fiber concentrates (PFC) were obtained using an aqueous extraction from PPF derived from different Tunisian varieties: Opuntia ficus-indica (yellow color and purple-pink color ecotypes) and Opuntia stricta (OS). Results showed that the extraction process increased fiber content from ~ 42 to 67% for the pink ecotype. Fiber concentrate obtained from the yellow ecotype presented high water holding capacity (9.18 g/g). Thermogravimetric analyses revealed that fibers were thermally more stable than their corresponding flours, at temperatures up to 230 °C and 150 °C, respectively, for OS variety. Rheological properties of aqueous suspensions of PFC or PPF showed a shear-thinning behavior at 4% concentration. Apparent viscosity increased with concentration and decreased with temperature. All suspensions showed a closed hysteresis loop at 6% concentration, with highest thixotropic property for PFC obtained from the yellow ecotype. These promising properties of PFC provided their possible use in many food formulations.
