Biochemical analysis of extracting fermented coconut oil

Hepatoprotective Activity of Dried- and Fermented-Processed Virgin Coconut Oil

The present study aims to determine the hepatoprotective effect of MARDI-produced virgin coconut oils, prepared by dried- or fermented-processed methods, using the paracetamol-induced liver damage in rats. Liver injury induced by 3 g/kg paracetamol increased the liver weight per 100 g bodyweight indicating liver damage. Histological observation also confirms liver damage indicated by the presen...

Effect of Coconut Oil, Coconut Water and Palm Kernel Oil on Some Biochemical Parameters in Albino Rats

The coconut oil, coconut water and palm kernel oil was administered orally at a dose of 400mg/kg body weight to white albino rats to check for some effect on biochemical parameters. Twenty (20) rats divided into four (4) groups of five (5) rats each. One group was treated with distilled water and feed only serving as control, second group was treated with coconut water only while the third grou...

In vivo antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities of dried and fermented processed virgin coconut oil.

OBJECTIVE The present study was carried out to investigate the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities of virgin coconut oil (VCO) produced by the Malaysian Agriculture Research and Development Institute (MARDI) using various in vivo models. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two types of VCOs, produced via standard drying (VCOA) and fermentation (VCOB) processes were used in this study. Both VCO...

Ameliorative Effect of Coconut Oil on Hematological, Immunological and Serum Biochemical Parameters in Experimentally infected Rabbits

Development of fermented Momordica charantia and analysis of biochemical properties

The experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of natural fermentation on physiochemical and sensory properties of bitter gourd slices. Initially three varieties of bitter gourd Thinnaveli white [V1], Mathale green [V2] and Thumba karavila [V3] were taken. Preliminary investigation was carried out to select the best variety. Sensory analysis was conducted using 30 untrained panelists an...
