The effect of the drying rates of fruit and cladode of Opuntia Ficus Indica was examined at different temperatures. The experimental drying curves show only a falling drying rate period. The values of drying rate of prickly pear (fruit and cladode) almost doubled when the drying temperature was increased from 40 to 60°C. The experimental drying data were applied to various drying equation (Logarithmic; Wang and Singh, Henderson and Pabis, MMF model and Midilli equation). Midilli equation was optimal for characterizing drying behaviour of prickly pear for the whole range of temperature with a correlation coefficient of 99.99% for the fruit and the cladode and a standard error of 0.0015 for the fruit and 0.0017 for the cladode.

Plant Parts

Opuntia ficus-indica(the cactus or prickly pear) is a cactus belonging to the Opuntiae family. Several Opuntiae plant parts have been used in traditional Moroccan medicine. In this study, we investigated its most common use as an analgesic. An ethnobotanical study ofOpuntia ficus-indicawas first conducted in 10 areas in Morocco. Extracts fromOpuntia ficus-indicacladodes were obtained using a decoction method and its analgesic activity in mice was investigated by the hot plate and tail flick methods. Cladode extracts had significant (p<0.05) analgesic activity at intraperitoneal doses of 300, 500, and 1000 mg/kg body weight. Both methods revealed significantly increased latency at all three doses (p<0.05) compared to controls. These data suggest that the traditional use of this plant as an analgesic is valid; in fact, perhaps it may be a centrally-acting analgesic.

Wormhole-like mesostructured monetite was successfully synthesized using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (C19H42BrN, CTAB), as a porosity agent. X-ray techniques and FTIR reveal that the crystalline grains consist of highly crystalline pure monetite phase. Monetite rods with diameter around 20–40 nm and length in the range of 50–200 nm were confirmed by FESEM and TEM. Based on N2adsorption-desorption isotherms investigation, surface area increased up to 31.5 m2/g due to the removal of surfactant after calcinations at 400°C. The results indicate that CTAB can not only affect monetite crystallization but also change particles morphology from plate shape to rod-like.
