Anti-ulcer Activity of Avocado Juice and Kiwi Juice on Indomethacin Induced Gastric Ulcer in Rats

Over past decades, physicians have recommended dietary adjustments, aimed at preventing or treating symptoms of peptic ulcer, as a diet that moderates the risk of stomach ulceration. This study aims to investigate the effect and mechanism of consumption of avocado (Persea americana Mill) juice and kiwi (Actinidia deliciosa) juice to alleviate peptic ulcer in rats. Thirty-six male albino rats (185±10 g), were used and divided into 6 equal groups, one was kept as a (-ve) control group, while the other groups were received daily oral dose of indomethacin (25mg / kg b.Wt.) once daily for 21 days. One group received Indo only (+ve control group), while the other groups given orally (1.5, 3 ml per day) of each juice for 21 days plus Indo. Peptic ulcer index, preventive index, and acidity of gastric juice were assessed. Nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) were measured in gastric tissue, as well as histopathological changes in the gastric mucosa. Treatment with avocado juice and kiwi juice resulted in amelioration of the gastric histological lesions induced by Indo. Moreover, fresh juices of avocado and kiwi significantly modulated biochemical marker of oxidative/nitrosative stress markers; malondialdehyde (MDA), and nitric oxide (NO) and antioxidant enzymes as glutathione (GSH), which were significantly disrupted in animal treated with Indo alone. According to this study, the fresh juices of avocado and kiwi could protect against peptic ulcer and its other side effects. This may be due to the high content of phenolic and flavonoid compounds in these juices.

The Effect of Avocado to the Profile of Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) and Creatinine in Rats (Rattus norvegicus) Induced with Meloxicam

Incidence of drug overdose during treatment of acute disease consequently leads to serious renal damage. As supporting treatment, administration of herbal medicine and food dietary are frequently developed. This research aimed to prove how the administration of avocado juice could lower the BUN and creatinine level in white rats induced with toxic doses of meloxicam. Meloxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflamatory drug (NSAID), which is effectively used as an anti-inflamatory, analgesic, and antipyretic. Twenty four (24) male Wistar rats were assigned to 4 groups of six rats each (n=6). 1 ml of CMC 1% was administered to Control Group I, 30 mg/kgBB meloxicam and 1 ml of CMC 1% to Control Grup II, 30 mg/kgBB meloxicam and avocado juice 5 g/kgBB/day to Treatment Group I, and 30 mg/kgBB meloxicam and avocado juice 10 g/kgBB/day to Treatment Group II. The study was conducted over 8 days, then the level of Blood Urea Nitrogen and creatinine of the white rats were examined on the 1st and 8th day. The results were analyzed by Anova Two Way With Replication, then followed by T-test (α = 0,05) if there were difference. The Anova Two Way With Replication test showed that the mean of the four groups either the levels of Blood Urea Nitrogen or creatinine was significantly decreased (p<0,05). The decrease of BUN in the treatment group I was 27,17 27,17mg/dl and 17,83mg/dl while the decrease of creatinine level was 0,983mg/dl and 0,713mg/dl. The conclusion of this study was that avocado juice decreases level of Blood Urea Nitrogen and creatinine in white rats which exposed toxic doses of meloxicam.

Physical Quality and Microbiological Safety of Some Fruit Juices Served in Cafes/Juice Houses: The Case of Hossana Town, Southern Ethiopia

In general, fruit juices are considered as microbiologically safer than other food stuffs. Nevertheless, numerous infections of human epidemics have been related with the intake of fruit juices, which are contaminated. The objective of the current study was to assess the microbiological safety and quality of juices being served in Cafes/ Juice houses in Hossana town, Southern Ethiopia. Over-all of 90 juice samples (30 samples each for avocado, mango and papaya), collected from six purposively selected cafes and/or juice houses in Hossana town, were examined. None of the juice makers had any experience to professional training on food hygiene and safety related to their job. Majority of fruits for juice making were brought from open market and stored in open ground in the cafes/juice houses. Additionally, the juices physico-chemical parameters, for instance pH and Titratable acidity were analyzed following standard protocols. The average aerobic mesophilic bacteria counts (CFU/ml) of avocado, mango and papaya were respectively 2.2 x 104, 1.3 x 104, and 7.4 x 103. The pH of juices were ranged from 4.05-5.79 and that of TA from 0.021-0.140 (g lactic acid/100 g sample). Mango juice was observed more acidic (pH= 4.05 ± 0.120) than papaya juice (pH= 5.33 ± 0.140) and avocado juice (5.79 ± 0.021). The main bacterial groups isolated from the fruit juices included Klebsella, Enterobacter, and S. aureus species. The microbial masses of the fruits juices examined were greater than the specifications set for fruit juices vended in the other areas of the world. To the writers’ level of understanding, there is no requirement set for the acceptable level of microbes in fruit juices being served in the study area. Since main isolates were colonies of microorganisms, the reduced hygienic condition of the fruit juice makers and absence of information of using disinfection during processing, also the promising physico-chemical settings of the fruit juices could be contributed to the high microbial concentrations. Thus, great level of workers sanitation is necessity and the use of decontaminators would be better applied for the betterment the microbial quality, safety, and shelf life.

BACTERIOLOGICAL LOAD ASSESSMENT OF JUICE SOLD IN CAFTERIA AND HOTELS IN ARBA MINCH TOWN, GAMO GOFA, SOUTHERN ETHIOPIA.

Fruit juices are the specialized drinks which are rich in vitamins and nutrients that can help prevent common birth defects as well as cancer and also contain enzymes that are essential for digestive process. The study was performed to evaluate the microbiological quality of locally processed juices such as mango and avocado juices from some selected hotels and cafeteria found in Arba Minch town. Four mango and Avocado, total 8 juice samples from two hotels and cafeterias were collected and their microbial load was analyzed in Microbiology laboratory on appropriate media by using serial dilution techniques followed by spread plate techniques. The highest colonies were observed from mango juice sample from cafeteria two and the lowest colony from hotel one are 94 colonies and 0 colony respectively. The mean bacterial count of avocado juice sample was 49500 cfu/ml which was relatively higher than the mean colonies of mango’s juice sample was 15420 cfu/ml. The total mean of bacterial colonies were 63750 cfu/ml from nutrient agar media, 16250 cfu/ml from Manito salt agar and 23250 cfu/ml from Macconkey in case of cafeteria as well as 41250 cfu/ml from nutrient agar media, 22250 cfu/ml from Manito salt agar and 28000 cfu/ml from Macconkey in case of hotels. Their for, juice venders that produce unpasteuralized mango avocado juices would be recommended that preventative measures through food safety control strategies is important.
