We firmly believe in the technical-scientific approach to problem solving and for this reason we have started a series of internal research programs in collaboration with Universities and other innovative Companies.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/6&#8243; el_class=&#8221;colonna_verde&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1688104300686{margin-top: 100px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]Wakonda is also participating in various calls for funding for research projects, both at national and European level. The research sectors in which we operate range from research in agricultural mechanization,[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]to the protein enrichment of Opuntia ficus indica (OFI) through fermentation, to nutraceutical, dermo-cosmetic, industrial and animal nutrition applications.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1688743259229{background-color: #fbd066 !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221; el_id=&#8221;dettagli_alimentazione&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text] OPUNTIA BENEFITS [\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner gap=&#8221;35&#8243;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1856&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text] Appetite control The dehydrated pulp of Opuntia ficus, rich in fibers, increases its volume in contact with the contents of the stomach, promoting the feeling of satiety. Furthermore, the high content of Opuntiamannan, a polysaccharide capable of binding ingested fats and sugars, making them less assimilable by the body, reduces the caloric intake of meals.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1855&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text] Health improving The cladode of Opuntia ficus indica is rich in nutritional factors, such as vitamins (A, C, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6), mineral salts (calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus and iron), polyphenols and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Regular intake of Opuntia ficus indica as part of a balanced diet brings significant health benefits such as the reduction of glycemia and bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides and an increase in good cholesterol (HDL).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner gap=&#8221;35&#8243;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1854&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text] Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties The cladode of Opuntia ficus indica is rich in carotenoids, polyphenols and flavonoids such as quercetin and kaempferol. These bioactive compounds have a strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant power capable of reducing oxidative stress with an anti-aging action and prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Flavonoids help fight free radicals, preventing the formation of colon, liver, prostate and breast cancer cells.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1853&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text] Healthy nutrition, respecting the environment.
