Neutral and Pectic Heteropolysaccharides Isolated from <i>Opuntia joconostle</i> Mucilage: Composition, Molecular Dimensions and Prebiotic Potential

Neutral and Pectic Heteropolysaccharides Isolated from <i>Opuntia joconostle</i> Mucilage: Composition, Molecular Dimensions and Prebiotic Potential

<i>Opuntia joconostle</i> is a semi-wild cactus cultivated for its fruit. However, the cladodes are often discarded, wasting the potentially useful mucilage in them. The mucilage is composed primarily of heteropolysaccharides, characterized by their molar mass distribution, monosaccharid...
