Physicochemical characterization and in vitro evaluation of the photoprotective activity of the oil from Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill. seeds
Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill. is a cactus widely cultivated in northeastern Brazil due to its enormous growth potential and multiple uses. This study aimed to perform physicochemical characterization and in vitro evaluation of the photoprotective potential in the region of ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation of the oil from O. ficus-indica (L.) Mill. seeds. For physicochemical characterization of the oil, the following...
