EFFECT OF STORAGE MATERIALS AND FERMENTATION TIME ON VITAMIN A AND C CONTENT OF PALM WINE

EFFECT OF STORAGE MATERIALS AND FERMENTATION TIME ON VITAMIN A AND C CONTENT OF PALM WINE

ABSTRACT Studies conducted on the effect of storage materials and fermentation time on vitamin A and C content of palm oil the storage material were bottles, rubber and calabash. While the fermentation time was 0 hour, 24 hours and 48 hours. At the end of the research it was observed from the result that the fresh palm wine that undergo fermentation at 12.53 mg/100g of vitamin of vitamin A in the container and 6.22 mg/100g of vitamin C in all…

EFFECT OF ORGANIC APPLE CIDER VINEGAR ON SOME HORMONAL PROFILE OF ALLOXAN-INDUCED DIABETIC ALBINO WISTAR RATS

ABSTRACTS This study on the effect of apple cider vinegar on the hormonal profile of male albino Wister rats was carried using standard methods. Twenty-five (25) rats were randomly assigned five groups of five rats each. Group 1 was served as the control and was given free access to normal rat chow and water only; Group 2 was administered with alloxan, Groups 3, 4 and 5 were induced with alloxan. Thereafter, it was given 0.5ml, 1ml and 2ml/kg body weight…

EFFECT OF ORGANIC APPLE CIDER VINEGAR ON SOME ANTIOXIDANT PARAMETERS OF ALLOXAN-INDUCED DIABETIC RATS

EFFECT OF ORGANIC APPLE CIDER VINEGAR ON SOME ANTIOXIDANT PARAMETERS OF ALLOXAN-INDUCED DIABETIC RATS

ABSTRACT The effect of organic Apple cider vinegar on some antioxidant parameters of alloxan-induced diabetic rats was investigated. The antioxidants analysed were Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Catalase (CAT), and Glutathione peroxidase (GPX). Twenty-five (25) male albino wistar rats weighed between 73-352g were randomly assigned to 5 groups of 5 animals each. Group1 serves as the control and was given distilled water and commercial rat chow, group 2 which was negative control was induced with 150mg/kg body weight of alloxan. Group 3,…

DETERMINATION OF THE ACUTE EFFECT OF LEAD NITRATE EXPOSURE ON ELECTROLYTE PROFILE IN MALE ALBINO WISTAR RATS TREATED WITH ETHANOL LEAVE EXTRACTS OF Gongronema latifoliuim AND Moringa oleifera

DETERMINATION OF THE ACUTE EFFECT OF LEAD NITRATE EXPOSURE ON ELECTROLYTE PROFILE IN MALE ALBINO WISTAR RATS TREATED WITH ETHANOL LEAVE EXTRACTS OF Gongronema latifoliuim AND Moringa oleifera

ABSTRACT Acute impact of lead nitrate exposure on electrolute profile in male albino wistar rats treated with ethanolic leave extacts of G. latifolium and M. oleifera was determined. Twenty (20) animals weighing 94.25-125.50g were randomly grouped into five groups of four rats each. Groups 1 – 4 were exposed orally to 30% below the LD50 of lead nitrate [Pb(NO3)2] before treatment. Groups 1 and 2 were later treated with 500mg/kg ethanol leave extracts of G. latifolium and M. oleifera respectively….
