Mucilage powder from cactus pears as functional ingredient: influence of cultivar and harvest month on the physicochemical and technological properties

摘要

Physicochemical properties: bulk density, tapped density, compressibility index, moisture and solids content, water activity, pH (10% RM), conductivity (10% RM) and viscosity (5% RM) of mucilage powder extracted from four cactus pear cultivars harvested from cladodes over 6 months
