We investigated effects of high doses of Jujube fruits and Saffron petals on biochemical and hematological biomarkers in rats. During 14 days treatment of herbs, mortality was not observed. No difference reported in FBS, lipid profile, total protein, albumin, total bilirubin and hematological parameters of rats after treatments. BUN, cratinine, urate and liver enzymes levels in both extracts in...

Introduction Jujube (Ziziphus mauritiana Lam.) tree is subjected to attack by different fungal pathogens causing various diseases. In India, powdery mildew (Oidium sp.) causes defoliation and fruit-drop. Sooty mold (Cladosporium zizyphi) causes leaves to fall. Leaf spot results from infection by Cercospora spp. and Isariopsis indica var. zizyphi. Leaf rust, caused by Phakopsora zizyphi-vulgaris...

Red jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) is an important fruit that has the concomitant function of both medicine and food. It been proven to be rich in various bioactive components. In present study, juice was fermented by Lactobacillus plantarum NXU19009 enhance flavor nutritional benefits. Its potential for prevention treatment acute alcohol induced-liver injury mice examined this study. The resul...

Abstract Fruit of Ziziphus jujuba Mill. are used as functional foods for centuries due to their rich content and bioactivities. Although in vitro antioxidant hypoglycaemic activity jujube fruit were investigated previously, the bioavailability phenomenon has been disregarded so far. For this study, 80% ethanol extract (ZJE) was its potentials, before after interaction with simulated human diges...

The methanolic extract of fruit of Benincasa hispida (BHFE) was evaluated for its antidiarrheal potential against several experimental models of diarrhea in rats. BHFE treated animals showed significant inhibi-tory activity against castor oil induced diarrhea and inhibited PGE2 induced enter pooling in rats. It also showed significant reduction in gastro intestinal motility following charcoal m...

BACKGROUND Jujube extract is commonly used as a food additive and flavoring. The sensory properties of the extract, especially sweetness, are a critical factor determining the product quality and therefore affecting consumer acceptability. Small molecular carbohydrates make major contribution to the sweetness of the jujube extract, and their types and contents in the extract have direct influen...
