Abstract
Morphological characteristics and chemical composition of seeds of four species of Opuntiagenus endemic to the Samalayuca Valley were evaluated in this study. Morphology andchemical composition of the four species were clearly different. Seeds of O. polyacanta var.arenaria presented the highest values of area, length and width. However, O. phaeacanthashowed the highest values in palmitoleic acid (1.34 ± 0.12%), stearic acid (5.60 ± 0.47%), oleicacid (19.42 ± 1.04%), alpha linolenic acid (2.42 ± 0.33%), arachidic acid (0.61 ± 0.11%), andeicosenoic acid (1.74 ± 0.36%); but, this species showed the lowest values in linoleic acid(54.35 ± 2.91 %) content. In conclusion, seeds of O. phaeacantha could be an important newsource of health-promoting polyunsaturated fatty acid, and its use in arid and semi-arid regionsshould be encouraged.
期刊介绍：
The editors of the Journal of the Professional Association for Cactus Development, are very excited to be a part of the excellent editorial committee and to work together to create the synergism between scientists, growers, legislators, and business people so vital to the development of this industry to serve the people of arid lands.
