Channa striata (Bloch.) is a fresh water fish belonging to the family Channidae. The stripped snakehead fish possesses wide range of medicinal properties. In view of traditional use of C. striata for wound healing, the present study was undertaken to investigate the beneficial effects of orally administered freeze dried aqueous extract of Channa striata (AECS) in experimentally induced gastric ...

It is well-known that the innate immune mechanisms in fish serve as the first line of defence against wide variety of pathogens. In most of the situations, innate responses get induced and enhanced after the pathogen invasion. It would be interesting to look into the inducibility of various innate immune mechanisms and the level of enhancement after infection with the pathogen. Hence, in the pr...

The cytological response of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss head kidney macrophages to ingested Mycobacterium spp. was examined in vitro. Mycobacterium marinum or Mycobacterium sp. TB267 isolated from snakehead fish Channa striata Bloch were opsonised with either fresh rainbow trout serum, serum which had been heat-inactivated, or rainbow trout antiserum against the extracellular products (EC...

The extract of snakehead fish ( Channa striata ) and kelulut honey Heterotrigona itama ointment was proven to have activity in wound healing. However, previous studies showed instability the as indicated by occurrence phase separation. This study used CMC-Na (Carboxymethyl Cellulose Sodium) with a concentration 3% (F1), 4.5% (F2), 6% (F3) binder. stabilizer added increase stability preparation ...

The objective of the present study was to investigate effect packaging methods (i.e., air-packaging and vacuum-packaging) storage temperatures chilled temperature 3 ± 1.0 °C superchilled -2.5 0.5 °C) on sensory quality lipid stability fresh snakehead fish fillets. results indicated that vacuum significantly improved fillets, resulting in lower free fatty acids (FFA), hydroperoxide (PV), thiobar...
