Abstract
This study was carried out to investigate the chemical, technological and biological effects of dried goldenberry. Dried goldenberry contained 8.76% of crude protein, 2.92% of ether extract, 65.91% of available carbohydrates 16.86% of Crude fiber and 5.55% of ash. Moreover, it rich in Potassium (1213.20 mg/100g), Phosphorus (198.40 mg/100g) and calcium (141.70 mg/100g). The main saturated fatty acid was palmtic Acid (6.45%) and unsaturated fatty acids was Linoleic Acid (69.08%). Goldenberry was high in vitamin E (20.3 mg/100g), vitamin c (53.7 mg\100g), β-Carotenoids (1270 mg/100g), total phenolic compounds (3100 mg\100g), total flavonoid compounds (157.5 mg\g) and antioxidative activity (56.57%). On the otherhand, feeding with extract or dried goldenberry showed improve in relative organ weights (liver, heart, kidney, spleen, lungs and pancreas) and a significant increase in body weight gain, food intake and food efficiency ratio in all of diabetic and CCl4 intoxicated rats. Serum blood glucose level was significantly decreased (after 2 weeks) in diabetic rats treated with extract or dried goldenberry. This decrease was ranged from 98.33 mg/dl (G4) to 113.67 mg/dl (G5) as compared with control positive group (204.33 mg/dl). The diabetic rats in (G4) recorded the highest decrease in total cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL-C by means 90.67, 97.33 and 28.2 mg/dl, respectively and the highest increase in HDLc by mean 43 mg/dl as compared to positive control group (G2). No significant difference was found in uric acid, urea and creatinine values between negative control group (G1) and all treated diabetic groups except urea value of diabetic rats in (G5). While, diabetic groups that feed on extract or dried goldenberry had lower ALT, AST and ALP activities than positive control group (G2) by different rates. The best effect was for G4 followed by G6. While, the lowest effect was for diabetic rats in (G5). On the otherhand, the serum glucose level of CCl4 intoxicated positive control group (G2) which was147.67 mg\dl recorded the highest value of all groups (after 6 weeks). While, the lowest value was for CCl4 intoxicated rats in group (4) by mean value 82.9 mg\dl. Feeding CCl4 intoxicated rats with extract or dried goldenberry showed significant reduce in total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-C and VLDL-c as compared with CCl4 intoxicated positive control group (G2). CCl4 intoxicated rats in group (4) showed reducing in serum total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and VLDL by mean 84.4, 72, 30.7 and 14.4 mg/dl, respectively and increasing in HDL-c by mean 39.3 mg/dl. Otherwise, using extract or dried goldenberry decreased ALT, AST, ALP, uric acid, urea, creatinine, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin and indirect bilirubin values and increase total protein, albumin and globulin than positive control group (G2) by different rates. The highest increase in antioxidant liver enzymes (GPX, SOD and CAT) was found in CCl4 intoxicated rats of G4 by means (32.63, 34.43 and 70.2 μmole\mg), respectively.In conclusion, goldenberry could have therapeutic effect for diabetes and liver disease and considered as a new source of bioactive and functional food.
