Abstract
⺠Pigment composition was analysed in Opuntia megacantha fruits during ripening. ⺠Antiradical activity of fruits increased during their ripening in the plant. ⺠Chlorophyll content in immature fruits was higher in the skins than in the pulps. ⺠Betalain levels in pulps were higher in mature and immature fruits than in peels. ⺠Pulp colour due to betalains took place before this change was observed in peels.
