HYPOLIPIDEMIC ACTIVITY OF PROBIOTICATED MANGO AND SAPOTA FRUIT JUICES IN ALBINO WISTAR RATS
Journal Title: Annals. Food Science and Technology - Year 2016, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
The study was designed to evaluate the effect of probioticated mango (PMJ) and sapota (PSJ) fruit juices containing Lactobacillus plantarum NCDC LP20 as well as normal juices on high fat diet (HFD) fed albino Wister rats. Eight groups of rats (each group consisting of six rats) were fed with experimental diets: a normal control diet (NCD), HFD, HFD + PMJ, HFD + mango juice (MJ), HFD + PMJ + MJ, HFD + PSJ, HFD + sapota juice (SJ), HFD + PSJ + SJ. Probioticated fruit juices were administered orally (10 mL/kg bw/day for 28 days) to HFD fed rats. After treatment, the lipid profile of the blood serum was studied in all the groups. HFD fed rats showed elevated lipid profile levels as compared to NCD fed rats after 21 days. These HFD fed rats were orally administrated with probioticated mango and sapota fruit juices and normal mango and sapota juices (10 mL/kg body weight/day) for 28 days. Probioticated juices reversed the elevated lipid profile levels to near normal in HFD fed rats. This hypolipidemic effect is more significant in PMJ + MJ and PSJ + SJ treated groups than the other groups. On treatment with the probiotic mango and sapota fruit juices, the body weights of the treated groups significantly lowered in HFD fed rats. The results unequivocally establish an alternative dietary approach to reduce serum lipid levels as well as body weights in HFD fed rats by probioticated mango and sapota juices, better than the normal juices.
