Abstract

Laser-induced Plasma Spectroscopy was performed during the spines ablation of Opuntia by using Nd: YAG microsecond laser pulses. The results show strong absorption in Glochids that causes the intense electronic noise on the spectra. This process is consider suitable for practical elimination of spines in alimentary products like opuntia.
