Abstract

Opuntia ficus-indica contains anthocyanins, flavonoids and other substances rich in biological activity. Among them, anthocyanins have antioxidant, antitumor, anticancer, blood sugar, and blood lipid-lowering effects. Through a DPPH free radical scavenging test, a hydroxyl free radical scavenging test, a superoxide anion scavenging test and a test of the total reducing power to determine the in vitro antioxidant capacity of opuntia ficus-indica anthocyanins, along with the use of complex agglomeration embedding technology, the Opuntia ficus-indica anthocyanins were microencapsulated to achieve protection and sustained release. The results showed that the DPPH scavenging ability, hydroxyl radical scavenging ability, and superoxide anion scavenging ability of Opuntia ficus-indica anthocyanins were significantly higher than those of ascorbic acid, with IC50 values of 0.59 mg/mL, 0.72 mg/mL and 0.80 mg/mL, respectively. Through single-factor combined with response surface test analysis, it was determined that the best conditions for embedding anthocyanins were a core-to-wall ratio of 1.2:1, a wall material concentration of 1.02 g/mL, and a pH of 3.36. Under these conditions, the predicted value of the prickly pear anthocyanin embedding rate was 64.50%. Under the conditions of microencapsulation, the stability of anthocyanins is significantly increased.
