  • Protective Effect of Heat-Treated Cucumber (Cucumis Sativus L.) Juice Against Lead-Induced Detoxification in Rat Model
    Original Article Protective Effect of Heat-Treated Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) Juice Against Lead-Induced Detoxification in Rat Model Vivek Kumar Bajpai1, Ji-Eun Kim2, Sun Chul Kang2* 1Department of Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, Yeungnam University, Gyeongsan, Gyeongbuk 712-749, SOUTH KOREA. 2Department of Biotechnology, College of Engineering, Daegu University, Gyeongsan, Gyeongbuk 712-714, SOUTH KOREA. ABSTRACT Background: In recent years, the development of efficient green chemistry approaches for detoxification of heavy metal such as lead (Pb) poisoning has become a major focus of researchers. Objectives: This study was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of heat- treated cucumber juice on the protection of Pb-induced acute liver and kidney damages. Methods: Initially, during detoxification of lead, lead acetate (200 ppm dissolved in distilled water) was given to rats in drinking water for 5 weeks. Cucumber juice was orally administrated following three concentrations (1, 10 and 100 mg/kg) once in a day for 5 weeks. Further, the effect of heat-treated cucumber juice was evaluated on body weight, food intake, lead contents of rat tissues, and histopatholgical analysis of liver and kidney of test animals. Results: As a result, all treatments of cucumber juice exhibited a significantly higher protective effect on body weight, food intake, lead contents of tissues, count of red blood cell (RBC), and reticulocytes, as compared with Pb-control. Moreover, histology, and histomorphometry analysis of treatment tissue samples of liver and kidney also confirmed protecting effect of cucumber juice by showing normal histology and histomorphy when compared with Pb-control. Conclusion: These findings suggested that heat-treated cucumber juice has a significant protective effect on Pb- induced acute liver and kidney damages in experimental rats.

National Agricultural Research Extension and Liaison Services (NAERLS), Ahmadu Bello University (A.B.U), Zaria, Nigeria *Corresponding Author’s Email: [email protected]: 07068798168 ABSTRACT Pineapple, water melon, cucumber and carrot are tropical fruits which tend to have short shelf – lives due to the climatic conditions of Nigeria. Processing them into juice and smoothies will reduce the amount of post harvest loss and create availability of natural fruit juice and smoothies in the market or at home for intake. Varieties of juice and smoothies were made from pineapple, watermelon, cucumber and carrot without adding any form of preservatives. Each fruit was blanched in a water bath for 5 – 10 minutes at (75-80) and thereafter blended with laboratory blender. These fruits were processed into juice and smoothies respectively, adding distilled water (1:1) and subsequently, sugar. The juice and smoothies were preserved under different temperature conditions, half were refrigerated and the other half left in a shelf at room temperature for three weeks. The products under experiment were subjected to sensory analysis before and after preservation based on taste, colour, flavour and texture at the end of three weeks (21 days).
