chronic ethanol consumption leads to oxidative stress in the heart and erythrocytes of rats. as ziziphus jujuba fruit has been shown to have potent antioxidants, such as flavonoids, we conducted this study to evaluate the effects of aqueous fruit extracts from z. jujuba on rat hearts and erythrocytes following chronic ethanol consumption. twenty-eight male wistar rats were randomly divided into...

Purple passion fruit is a that widely cultivated in Indonesia for syrup and juice making. has high nutritional value, such as antioxidants. Passion contains vitamin A, C, β-carotene, flavonoid, fiber components. However, peel waste can not be appropriately facilitated, so it becomes pollute the environment. In addition, flavonoids used antidiabetic drugs. This study aimed to determine differenc...

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of solvent and ultrasound-assisted extraction methods with supercritical fluid extraction on antioxidant activity of loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) fruit skin extract in stability of soybean oil at 25°C. Oxidative stability alterations of soybean oils containing 400 (SEA) and 1000 ppm (SEB) of ethanol extract, 400 (SSA) and 1000 ppm (SSB) of...

We have investigated effect of Moringa oleifera leaf and fruit extracts on markers of oxidative stress, its toxicity evaluation, and correlation with antioxidant properties using in vitro and in vitro assays. The aqueous extract of leaf was able to increase the GSH and reduce MDA level in a concentration-dependent manner. The ethanolic extract of fruit showed highest phenolic content, strong re...

The present study aimed to assess the hypoglycemic and antihyperglycemic activity of fruit methanolic extract of Luffa cylindrica fruits. The effect of methanolic fruit extract on oral glucose tolerance and its effect on normoglycemic rats were studied. The same was tested for antihyperglycemic activity in alloxan induced hyperglycemic rats at the two dose levels 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight p...

The massive potential of pineapple fruit production can produce a sizable amount waste, around 75% (w/w) weight, contributing to global environmental problems. For this reason, biorefinery techniques are urgently needed convert plantation waste into high-value-added bioproducts including bromelain, various sugars, xylooligoscharide, xylitol, and ethanol. purpose study was examine the effectiven...

Apple pomace which is the main waste of fruit juice industry was utilized to extract pectins in an environmentally friendly way, which was then compared with chemically-extracted pectins. The water-based extraction with combined physical and enzymatic treatments produced pectins with 693.2 mg g(-1) galacturonic acid and 4.6% yield, which were less than those of chemically-extracted pectins. Che...

A. flavus produced high levels of invertase under optimized culture conditions on 4 day of th incubation at an optimum pH 5.0, temperature 30°C, inoculum size 3% in Czapek Dox using fruit peel waste as a substrate by SmF. Enhanced production occurred on addition of sucrose and yeast extract as nutritional factors. The enzyme was purified to 5.8 fold with recovery of 3.2% by DEAE-column chromato...

In this study, optimization of production parameters influencing melanin production in an economical fruit waste extract was attempted using a garden soil isolate (Bacillus safensis). Taguchi approach was adopted for screening of critical parameters and further optimization was done using a central composite design of response surface methodology (RSM). At optimum conditions (pH 6.84 and Temp 3...

Antioxidant supplementations are commonly used as an ergogenic aid for physical exercise despite its limited evidence. The study aimed to investigate the effects of a polyphenol mixture and vitamins on exercise endurance capacity. Seventy regularly exercising male participants were randomly assigned to receive oligomerized lychee fruit extract, a mixture of vitamin C (800 mg) and E (320 IU), or...
