I-Cactus (Opuntiasttricta(Haw.) Haw. var. dillenii(Ker-Gawl.) Benson ), isitshalo sohlobo lwe-Cactus. I-Cactus iyinqwaba yezihlahla ezinamanzi, amagatsha angaphezulu ane-obovate ngobubanzi, ayi-obovate{6}}elliptic noma acishe ayindilinga; izimbali ziyakhulunywa{7}}zimise okwe-obovate; ngokuvamile imbewu i-oblate, imiphetho ayifani, icwebezela, iphuzi ngokukhanyayo{8}}nsundu. I-Cactus ithanda ukukhanya kwelanga okuqinile, imelana nokushisa, isomiso, inyumba, futhi inamandla aqinile. Izinga lokushisa elilungile lokukhula lingama-20-30 degrees. Isatshalaliswa kakhulu ezindaweni ezomile zezifunda ezishisayo nezishisayo njengezindawo ezisogwini oluseningizimu naseningizimu-mpumalanga ye-United States, i-West Indies, iBermuda, inyakatho yeNingizimu Melika, eningizimu yeChina naseNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia.
Iziqu namaqabunga aqukethe i-triterpenes, i-malic acid ne-succinic acid. Umlotha uqukethe u-24% we-potassium carbonate.
1. Umphumela wokulahlekelwa isisindo: i-cactus iqukethe into ebizwa ngokuthi i-propanedioic acid, engavimbela ukukhula kwamafutha; I-cactus iqukethe ama-saponins e-triterpenoid, ama-triterpenes ayizinto ezibalulekile zomzimba womuntu, angakwazi ukulawula ngokuqondile umsebenzi wokuthuthwa komzimba womuntu futhi alawule amafutha Umsebenzi wama-enzyme ukhuthaza ukubola okusheshayo kwamafutha amaningi, futhi ungavimbela ngempumelelo ukumuncwa kwamafutha emgudwini wamathumbu, uvimbele ukuhlanganiswa kwamafutha odongeni lwe-cholesterol, kancane kancane ulahlekelwe yi-liver. isisindo. Akukona nje kuphela ukuthi akulimazi ubungqabavu, kodwa kunalokho yengeza izakhamzimba futhi yandise amandla omuntu; i-malic acid iyagaywa futhi ine- stomachic, futhi ingakhuthaza ukuhamba kwamathumbu, okunomsebenzi wokumanzisa amathumbu nama-laxatives.
2. Umphumela we-Hypoglycemic: I-Cactus iqukethe izinhlobonhlobo ze-flavonoid, njenge-quercetin-3-glucoside, enemiphumela ecacile ye-hypoglycemic futhi ingathuthukisa ngempumelelo i-glucose metabolism ezigulini ezinesifo sikashukela sohlobo lwe-II. I-Cactus extract iqukethe into ebizwa ngokuthi i-propanedioic acid, engavimbela ukukhula kwamafutha. I-Cactus futhi iqukethe ama-flavonoid ahlukahlukene, anemiphumela esobala ye-hypoglycemic futhi engathuthukisa ngempumelelo i-glucose metabolism ezigulini ezinesifo sikashukela sohlobo II.
3. Imithelela elwa namagciwane kanye-nokuvuvukala: I-Cactus inemiphumela evimbelayo ku-Staphylococcus aureus, i-Proteus, i-Escherichia coli, i-Bacillus subtilis, ne-Bacillus cereus.
