Today, the production of wheat-based bakery products enriched with global protein additives is becoming increasingly widespread with growing consideration for the quality and flavour of foods. Whey proteins are the highest available standard proteins that have high digestibility and a full profile of amino acids. Whey proteins are also suggested because of their positive effects on immune development and risk prevention of heart disease and cancer incidence. Being a tropical crop, Pitayas have the opportunity to become a plant for sale to foreign markets. Originating in the Antilles, the word pitaya meant scaly fruit. The ancient Mexicans named the fruit Capitella, or thick worm, in reference to the stems' size. Many populations of Stenocereus have made important contributions to diets of Indian tribes inhabiting tropical semiarid lands on coastal plains in the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean, as well as subtropical semiarid inland regions of Mexico since pre-Hispanic period. The pitayas were one of the most significant foods for the Seri Indians, as well as their favourite fruit. In ancient times pitayas from various species were an essential edible fruit in tropical and subtropical Mexico semiarid lands. Farmers have recently been growing selected plants from the wild, such as Stenocereus queretaroensis in Jalisco's Sayula Basin. These cacti can flower and grow fruit before the start of the rainy season in the summer. Their fruits have an attractively coloured pulp with digestible seeds (often dark red) and without the unpleasant glochids present on cactus pears. The sugar content is 10 to 11%. The shelf life is just a few days, as the fruits appear to dehisce lengthwise. Pitaya (Stenocereus spp.) is a fruit harvested from pitayo, a cactus that grows in arid and semi-arid regions of America and is widely distributed from South Arizona to northern Colombia and Venezuela. There are at least 24 species of Stenocereus; of this, Stenocereus stellatus, S. Frisky S. Griseus, S. The most important of these are queretaroensis. The pitaya fruit has a thin skin with spines found in small groups and scale-like structures located thereon. The pulp is sweet, juicy and has small seeds inside. Pitaya is an important crop for the national economy in countries like Mexico due to its strong sensorial properties and the excellent use of natural resources (water and soil). Pitaya fruit juice is rich in vitamin c and fibres to provide a healthy body overall. This enhances memory, and strengthens the immune system. Thanks to the abundance of fibre, Pitaya juice helps digestion and promotes probiotic production
