Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on three prickly pear species in eastern Morocco, including two newly introduced ones, Opuntia robusta and Opuntia dillenii, alongside the more common Opuntia ficus indica.
- It evaluates their phenolic content and antioxidant activity using various biochemical assays, revealing significant differences based on the species and the maturity stage of the cladodes.
- Results indicate that O. robusta has the highest total phenolic content and the greatest amount of beneficial compounds, with older cladodes showing increased phenolic levels compared to younger ones.
The objective of this research was to evaluate the efficiency of aqueous enzymatic extraction (AEE) to obtain oil from hemp seeds (Cannabis sativa L.) grown in northern Morocco. Optimisation of AEE extraction parameters, including pH, enzyme concentration (hemicellulase, protease and pectinase), temperature and incubation time, to maximize oil yield was achieved using response surface methodology with a central composite design.

The hens are randomly allocated into four treatment groups, each subdivided into six replicates with five birds in each replicate. The dietary treatments consist of 0% HS (control), 10% HS, 20% HS, and 30% HS.
