摘要: Microwave-powered cold plasma (CP) treatment was evaluated as a means to increase the antioxidant activity, water solubility, and dispersion stability of prickly pear cactus fruit (Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill.) extract. The extract (2 g) treated at various CP generation powers times 25 °C 28 °C. activity increased by 1.8% 1.7% after 750 W for 40 min 856 36 min, respectively. Both solubility (delta backscattering) 2.4% 0.1%, respectively, following 644 min. These results suggest potential applicability possibly other insoluble natural compounds in foods improving their activities water. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Prickly is functional food with high concentration. This study demonstrated that improved without altering or its activity. obtained suggested applying technology improve extract, which difficult solubilize systems, processed foods.
