Within this large family of Cactaceae are edible cacti that are highly valued for their medicinal properties and used as edible fruits. In this review, we will make a description of the overall chemical composition, main phytochemicals found in some edible cacti of the Andean region such as sanky (Corryocactus brevistylus), pitahaya (Hylocereus monacanthus, Hylocereus megalanthus) and tuna or prickly pear (Opuntia ficus-indica). In addition, we will include its medicinal and therapeutic properties and its commercial applications and uses as a natural colorant.

The objective of the present research was the elaboration of a pâté-type sausage from mechanically recovered meat of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). The meat was obtained from trout skelons, which were passed through a grinder and sprayed with a mixture of α-tocopherol (0.02%) and ascorbic acid (0.05%). The formulation of the pate was as follows: mechanically recovered trout meat (74.4%), salt (1.3%), sodium tripolyphosphate (0.8%), starch (2%), soy protein isolate (2.4%), margarine (16.7%), soy lecithin (1.9%), onion powder (0.2%), garlic powder (0.2%) and pepper powder (0.1%). Three formulations were prepared: PCR1 (80% cooked meat and 20% raw meat), PCR2 (90% cooked meat and 10% raw meat) and PCR3 (100% cooked meat). For each formulation, the following were evaluated: texture profile, color and sensory evaluation, the latter with the participation of 30 unt...
