Abstract

Natural sources and healthy cereal-based food have recently received a lot of attention by both professionals and the common population for improving overall well-being. In this case, Opuntia cactus and Opuntia derivates show high potential in the production of health-promoting cereal-based products.

This study comprehensively reviews nutritional composition, health benefits of Opuntia spp. and its utilisation in the production of bread and pasta products. Moreover, the effect of this ingredient on the rheological properties of wheat dough and physical parameters as well as sensory properties of incorporated products is also discussed.
