  • How prickly pear seed oil is extracted?
  • Seeds are usually removed as waste products from the fruit pulp and can constitute important new oil source. The Opuntia seed oil, commonly called prickly pear seed oil, has been extracted using maceration-percolation, Soxhlet, cold pressing, supercritical carbon dioxide, and ultrasound extraction, for which yields of 1?20% have been reported.
  • What fatty acids are in prickly pear seed oil?
  • The main fatty acids of prickly pear seed oil are palmitic, stearic, oleic, and linoleic acids. Environmental conditions and maturation stages of prickly pear have effects on the properties of the oil. High levels of sterols are present, with β-sitosterol as the dominant sterol. The dominant tocopherol is γ-tocopherol.
