Description tThe yield of mucilage extracted from cladodes of Opuntia dillenii (Ker-Gawl) Haw in aqueous medium was6.2%. The neutral sugar comprised of arabinose (38.80%), galactose (33.00%), rhamnose (15.70%), xylose(5.10%), and glucose (5.10%). The mucilage showed pseudo plastic behavior with good swelling index(20%), water holding capacity (g water/g dry sample; 4 ± 0.10) and micrometric properties. In addition,mucilage presented intrinsic viscosity of 3.7 dL/g with average molecular weight of 1.9 × 103kDa. TheFTIR and NMR spectra of extracted mucilage showed characteristic polysaccharide nature. Further, themucilage exhibited anti-obesity property through lipase inhibition. These findings could highlight thatisolated mucilage could be exploited as an additive in food and pharmaceutical sector.
