Physico-chemical characteristics were evaluated from the fruit of seven prickly pear (Opuntia spp.) varieties grown in Mexico and the pigment stability from two of them was monitored for 91 days under storage at three pH levels and two temperatures. Value ranges were recorded from the water content variables (81.34-85.29 g 100 g-1 fresh weigh (FW)), ash (0.48-0.57 g 100 g-1 FW), protein (0.20-0.39 g 100 g-1 FW), fat (0.13-0.83 g 100 g-1 FW), crude fiber (0.33-0.72 g 100 g-1 FW), total soluble solids (9.67-14.12 ºBrix), citric acid (0.020-0.074 g 100 g-1 FW) and pH (3.32-5.81). Pigment concentration varied widely between varieties, with Pintadera having the highest (86.69 mg betanina 100 g-1 FW), followed by Tapón Aguanoso (58.12 mg betanina...
