Wannang*, Nanloh S. Jimam, Simeon Omale, Maxwell L. P. Dapar, Steven S. Gyang and John C. Aguiyi Department of Pharmacology and Clinical Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Jos, Nigeria. Accepted 24 October, 2007 The effects of the powdered fruits of Cucumis metuliferus on enzymes and haematological indices were evaluated in adult albino rats. The study revealed a significant (P<0.05) dose-dependent decrease in white blood cells (WBC) count. 500 mg/kg body weight of the powdered fruit produced a significant (P<0.05) decrease in red blood cells (RBC), and an increase in platelet and haemoglobin (Hb), while there was an insignificant (P>0.05) decrease in clotting and bleeding time. 1000 mg/kg produced significant (P<0.05) increase in RBC, platelets, Hb and packed cell volume (PCV) values, and an insignificant (P>0.05) decrease in clotting and bleeding time. The biochemical parameters evaluation showed that 500 - 1000 mg/kg of the powdered fruit of the plant produced a dose-dependent significant (P<0.05) increase in the levels of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and Total protein. This result showed that Cucumis metuliferus produced alterations in the haematological and biochemical indices evaluated. Keywords: Cucumis metuliferus, serum, enzymes, haematological.

  • Iran Has the Second Largest Economy (After Saudi Arabia) and Population (After Egypt)
    COUNTRY FACT SHEET ON FOOD AND AGRICULTURE POLICY TRENDS | September 2014 Socio-economic context and role of agriculture In the Near East and North Africa region, Iran has the second largest economy (after Saudi Arabia) and population (after Egypt). Iran ranks second in the world in natural gas reserves and third in oil reserves.1 The agriculture and rural sector share in the GDP has declined in the last twenty years and yet is the source of income for more than 15 million people in rural areas.2 One quarter of the rural population is landless and of those who own land, one third are smallholders. Those within this segment of the population often fall below or just within the poverty line and face high underemployment rates. IRAN Some of the main development challenges at the national level are the harsh conditions of the physical environment and low productivity of small-holder farmers. Food security challenges include lack of self-sufficiency in major staple crops and inadequate access to food in terms of quantity of daily energy intake. The Iranian Government has adopted a comprehensive strategy envisioning market-based reforms as reflected in the 20-year Vision document and Iran’s fifth Five-Year Development Plan (FYDP 2011–15). The Government envisioned a large privatization programme in its 2010-2015 five-year plan, aiming to privatize 20 percent of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) each year. Moreover, Iran’s 2012 Doing Business ranking is in the bottom tiers of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, at 144th overall. Only Algeria, Iraq, and Djibouti rank lower among MENA countries.

Eggplants are a type of vegetable that is valued for its content in phytochemical compounds and it is due to the fact that this research is conducted towards the development of eggplant flour as a proposal to be used as a functional ingredient in the food industry. In this study, the eggplant fruits were divided into four groups, based on the drying method and the equipment used: Minced, drying oven (T1); sliced, drying oven (T2); sliced and frozen, drying tunnel (T3); and sliced, drying tunnel (T4).

  • The Best Indian Diet Plan for Weight Loss
    The Best Indian Diet Plan for Weight Loss Indian cuisine is known for its vibrant spices, fresh herbs and wide variety of rich flavors. Though diets and preferences vary throughout India, most people follow a primarily plant-based diet. Around 80% of the Indian population practices Hinduism, a religion that promotes a vegetarian or lacto-vegetarian diet. The traditional Indian diet emphasizes a high intake of plant foods like vegetables, lentils and fruits, as well as a low consumption of meat. However, obesity is a rising issue in the Indian population. With the growing availability of processed foods, India has seen a surge in obesity and obesity-related chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes . This document explains how to follow a healthy Indian diet that can promote weight loss. It includes suggestions about which foods to eat and avoid and a sample menu for one week. A Healthy Traditional Indian Diet Traditional plant-based Indian diets focus on fresh, whole ingredients — ideal foods to promote optimal health. Why Eat a Plant-Based Indian Diet? Plant-based diets have been associated with many health benefits, including a lower risk of heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers such as breast and colon cancer. Additionally, the Indian diet, in particular, has been linked to a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers believe this is due to the low consumption of meat and emphasis on vegetables and fruits. Following a healthy plant-based Indian diet may not only help decrease the risk of chronic disease, but it can also encourage weight loss.

Thai type showed the highest amount of protein (0.90%), crude (1.54%) and dietary (3.93%) fibre and the highest concentrations of total soluble phenolics (2049 mgCAE 100g-1) and chlorogenic acid (1700 mg 100g-1). Hindu type obtained the highest content of the minerals potassium (191.19 mg 100g-1), calcium (59.63 mg 100g-1), phosphorus (33.52 mg 100g-1), magnesium (28.96 mg 100g-1), manganese (0.44 mg 100g-1), zinc (0.78 mg 100g-1), in addition this eggplant type showed the highest levels of ascorbic acid (22 mg 100g-1).
