Double blends were prepared by mixing copra oil (CO) with seed oils of Brassica juncea (BO), Madhuca nerifolia (MO) and Sessamum indicum (SO) in different volume proportions. The consumer-acceptable oil blends were selected based on the opinion of a panel of consumers about the palatability and other physical properties of French fries prepared using the oil blends. The effect of the selected o...

The study was designed to evaluate the antioxidant and hepatoprotective activity of 70% ethanolic extract of Madhuca longilolia (Koenig) in experimental liver injury produced by carbon tetrachloride. The effects observed were compared with the standard silymarin. The Plant has reduced the elevated levels of serum biochemicals such as SGPT, SGOT, ALP, total and direct bilirubin, cholesterol and ...
