Abstract

One of the most prevalent dangerous illnesses is arthritis. The pathophysiology of gastritis is an imbalance of aggressive and protective factors. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are known as aggressive agents for the development of gastritis. Gastritis can be managed using avocado leaves. Finding out how an avocado leaf ethanol extract changed the amount of stomach acid in aspirin-treated rats was the aim of the investigation. Secondary metabolite content and characterisation were examined in the avocado leaf ethanol extract. Gastric acid reduction was performed by examining gastric acid concentration, number of ulcers, ulcer index, and pH in aspirin-induced rats. Ethanol extract of avocado leaves contains alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, steroids, tannins and glycosides. Characterization obtained moisture content of 12.60%, total ash content of 1.34% and acid insoluble ash content of 0.17%. Acid concentration in the administration of avocado leaf ethanol extract 400 mg/KgBW is 16.00 ± 2.65 significantly different from the negative control 27.67 ± 2.52. The number of ulcers on the administration of avocado leaf ethanol extract 400 mg/KgBW 1.67 ± 2.08 is significantly different from the negative control 5.33 ± 0.58. When avocado leaf ethanol extract 400 mg/ kgBW is administered, the ulcer index (0.003 ± 0.005) differs significantly from the negative control (0.014 ± 0.013). pH in the administration of avocado leaf ethanol extract 400 mg / kgBW 5.53 ± 0.57 is significantly different from the negative control 2.57 ± 0.12. The ethanol extract of avocado leaf 400 mg/kgBW has a reducing gastric acid effect.

Abstract

Sweeteners, preservatives, and caffeine in soft drinks can pose health risks if consumed excessively. This study aimed to develop a method for the simultaneous determination of acesulfame, saccharin, cyclamate, aspartame, caffeine, benzoate, and sorbate in carbonated soft drinks. The analysis was conducted using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) with a dual-wavelength PDA detector (Shimadzu LC-20AD), a C18 column (Shimadzu), and a UV-Vis spectrophotometer (Shimadzu). Standard materials included acesulfame-K, saccharin-Na, cyclamate-Na, aspartame, caffeine, benzoate-Na, and sorbic acid. Samples were obtained from a supermarket in Medan, Indonesia. Optimization parameters included detection wavelength, mobile phase pH, column oven temperature, and mobile phase composition. Validation parameters assessed were linearity, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), accuracy, precision, and selectivity. The optimized method employed a mobile phase of phosphate buffer (pH 3.8) and methanol (80:20, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.55 mL/min and column oven temperature of 40 °C. Detection was carried out at 200 nm for cyclamate, caffeine, aspartame, and benzoate, and at 220 nm for acesulfame, saccharin, and sorbate. Validation results showed the method met all requirements, with recovery rates ranging from 95.21% to 99.82%, system suitability values of 1.0%–1.9%, and precision values between 1.65% and 2.48%. The method also demonstrated good selectivity. The concentrations of acesulfame, saccharin, cyclamate, caffeine, benzoate, and sorbate in the analyzed samples did not exceed the maximum permissible limits.
