Activités anti-radicalaires d extraits de jus de fruits du figuier de Barbarie (Opuntia ficus indica)
Abstract :
The antioxidant activity of the juices of prickly pear fruits has been evaluated, in vitro, by DPPH* test. The results showed that the phenolic compounds, flavonoids and pigments of betalains type, present antioxidant activities more important than Vitamin C. The raw juices have more elevated activities than their constituents. The juices from purple colour fruits possess an antioxidant activity more than those from the yellow-orange colour fruits.
