Daun Kelor (Moringa oleifera L.) secara empiris digunakan oleh masyarakat sebagai antidiabetes. Penelitian ini  bertujuan untuk menentukan pengaruh pemberian ekstrak etanol daun kelor terhadap penurunan kadar glukosa darah tikus putih. Penelitian ini menggunakan 15 ekor tikus jantan yang dibagi menjadi 5 kelompok. Kelompok I merupakan kontrol negatif yang diberikan larutan Na.CMC 1%. Kelompok II, III dan IV adalah kelompok perlakuan yang diberikan ekstrak etanol daun kelor, berurutan, 50, 100, dan 150 mg/Kg BB. Kelompok V merupakan kontrol positif diberikan suspensi glibenklamid®. Sebelum perlakuan tikus dipuasakan selama 18 jam kemudian diinduksi dengan aloksan 150 mg/KgBB. Pengukuran kadar glukosa dilakukan pada hari ke 1, ke 3, ke 5, ke 7 dan ke 9. Hasil penelitian yang dilakukan menunjukkan ekstrak etanol daun kelor dapat menurunkan kadar glukosa darah. Dosis 100 mg/Kg BB memberikan efek penurunan kadar glukosa yang optimal dibandingkan dengan dosis ekstrak lainnya.

A survey was made on the incidence of Pneumocystis carinii in 361 rodents including sewer rats, albino rats, albino mice, guinea-pigs and rabbits. P. carinii was found in 4 of the 215 Rattus norvegicus examined (1,8%). These results accord with recent observations but disagree with investigations made by the researchers who first studied this parasite in the past when high indexes of infection were found. However, in 20 albino rats treated with corticosteroids (betamethazone) we found 8 positive (40%) and in 20 albino mice treated by the same way, 9 were positive for P. carinii (45%). These results confirm the opportunistic character of P. carinii in rodents already well demonstrated in man.

Central Plan

Aims: The aim of this study is to formulate cocktails based on ginger oleoresin, pineapple juice and bissap concentrate in order to contribute to the development of these agricultural products and improve the income of producers. Study Design: The biological material consists of pineapple juice, ginger oleoresin and bissap concentrate. The oleoresin and the bissap concentrate were supplied respectively by Gazignaire (France) and the Water Chemistry and Natural Substances Laboratory. Place and Duration of Study: The cocktails were formulated and then subjected to sensory analyzes, from July to October 2018, at the Biochemistry and Food Sciences laboratory at Félix Houphouët-Boigny University. Methodology: The cocktails were formulated through a composite central plan having as variables the proportions of the pineapple juice, the bissap concentrate and the ethanol composing the cocktail. Thus 15 cocktail formulations were developed, the sensory characteristics of which were estimated. Results: Hedonic analysis of the formulations indicates acceptance of 12 of them by more than 50% of tasters.In addition, 5 formulations F4; F6; F12; F13 and F15 are preferred in proportions varying between 62% and 77%.The descriptive analysis of these 5 formulations indicates that only the pineapple flavor makes it possible to distinguish them and the F13 formulation is less provided with them.However, these formulations according to their flavor, aroma and texture are classified into 3 groups according to a principal component analysis.Which could offer consumers more choice. Conclusion: Commercial production of these cocktails could improve the availability of ginger, bissap and pineapple year-round and help improve the income of producers.
