Vitamin Analysis

Tetrapleura tetraptera is widely cherished in African traditional homes because of its alleged therapeutic and nutritional properties. This present study aimed at determining the levels of vitamin A, C, E, and beta-carotene and trace element (Fe, Cu, Mn, Co, Se, and Zn) concentrations and their extractabilities in the pulp, seeds, and whole fruit (mixture of pulp and seeds) of T. tetraptera. The total trace element concentration of Fe, Cu, Co, Mn, and Zn and their extractabilities (%) were determined using flame atomic absorption spectrometer (FAAS), whereas UV-VIS spectrophotometer was used to determine selenium concentration. The trace element content (mg/kg) based on dry weight in the pulp, seeds, and whole fruit was Fe (162.00 ± 7.14, 115.00 ± 12.00, and 154.00 ± 25.20, respectively), Zn (31.60 ± 4.77, 43.40 ± 5.29, and 41.50 ± 8.97, respectively), Cu (16.10 ± 4.98, 11.90 ± 8.40, and 17.20 ± 14.50, respectively), Mn (55.30 ± 2.41, 156.00 ± 10.20, and 122.00 ± 5.29, respectively), Co (38.10 ± 6.40, 21.10 ± 7.15, and 44.00 ± 14.90, respectively), and Se (1.49 ± 0.17, 2.43 ± 0.28, and 2.97 ± 0.27 μg/g, respectively). The mineral extractabilities (%) in the pulp, seeds, and whole fruit of T. tetraptera were established to be in the order Co > Zn > Fe > Cu > Se > Mn. Also, the chromatographic method (HPLC) was used to evaluate vitamin E concentration, and vitamin C and concentration of beta-carotene were calculated from the obtained concentration of vitamin A using a conversion factor by the titrimetric method. From the results of vitamin analysis, a significant difference (p<0.05) was observed among the pulp, seeds, and whole fruit for vitamin C and E. However, no significant difference (p>0.05) was perceived among these plant parts for vitamin A and beta-carotene. This study has therefore revealed that the pulp, seeds, and whole fruit of T. tetraptera contain varying concentrations of vitamins and trace elements and has given many vital insights on which part of T. tetraptera to consume, as concentrations of these nutrients differ in the discrete parts of the fruit.

The aim of this study was to know the hypoglycaemic and hypolipidaemic activities of water extract of bungur (Lagerstroemia speciosa [L.] Pers.) leaves in alloxan-induced diabetic rat. Phytochemical studies was conducted to determinate the tannin-contents of the water extract (WE). Male Wistar rats (150- 180 9 BW) were used in this study. The rats were divided into six groups: nonnal control; diabetic control; glibenclamide; WE 0.1 g/200 9 BW; WE 0.2 g/200 9 BW; and WE 0.5 g/200 9 BW. Dried leaves of bungur extracted with boiling water (50 g/L) for 30 minutes. The extract administered orally. Fasting blood glucose, triglyceride, and total cholesterol were determined at 0, 2, 4, 6 hours after treatment. Total phenol, ellagitannin, gallotannin, and condensed-tannin were determined from the WE. The results showed that WE exhibited hypoglycaemic activity at doses 0.2 g/200 9 BW and 0.5 g/200 9 BW. The last dose showed similar hypoglycaemic activity compared with glibenclamide. All doses showed the hypolipidaemic activity higher than glibenclamide. Phytochemical studies showed that the WE containing total phenol 0.025%; ellagitannin 0.011%; gallotannin 0.0199%; and condensed-tannin 0.0167%.

Kombucha Tea

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycaemia. Functional food, such as kombucha tea, is widely used as complementary treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus.  Kombucha tea is made through fermentation process of green or black tea using a microbial kombucha consortium (Acetobacter xylinum and several types of yeast). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of fermentation time of kombucha tea on its hypoglycaemic activity in rats. The green tea (Camellia sinensis) was fermented with kombucha consortium for 8, 14, and 21 days. Evaluation of hypoglycaemic activity was conducted using glucose tolerance test method. First, fasting blood glucose levels in rats were measured after 16 hours fasting.  Hyperglycaemic condition was induced by administering glucose 2 g/0.2 kg body weight. Blood glucose levels were measured again after 30 minutes. Subsequently, 5.5 ml of kombucha tea in various fermentation time was orally administered. Blood glucose levels were measured at 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 minutes after kombucha tea administration. The results revealed the average reduction of blood glucose were 18.16%, 33.64%, and 19.88% by kombucha tea fermented for 8, 14, and 21 days, respectively. In conclusion, kombucha tea fermented for 14 days is potential to be developed as a hypoglycaemic agent. Keywords: fermentation time, glucose level, hypoglycaemia, kombucha tea
