Abstract

Background: In research on the long-term stability and shelf life of yoghurt, it was found that sweet potatoes were the only starch that performed well at three storage times, the sensory viscosity was significantly higher than the control, and samples containing starch were more accepted. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of shelf life on the physical and microbiological characteristics of yellow sweet potato synbiotic yogurt (Ipomoea batatas L). Methods: Quantitative experimental research with RAL research design factorial pattern 3, with a shelf life difference consisting of 3 levels, duplo repetition. The free variables are the shelf life of yellow sweet potato yoghurt for 0 days, 7 days, and 14 days, and the bound variables are physical characteristics (pH content, viscosity, TAT, TPT) and microbiology (total BAL). Results: Yellow sweet potato synbiotic yoghurt with all three shelf life meets the standards, namely in TAT, TPT and Total BAL and does not meet the standards at pH and viscosity because the pH is too low and the viscosity is too thick. Conclusion: Yoghurt with a shelf life of 14 days still meets the standards and can be consumed.

Abstract

The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) has reported a consistent global rise in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Conventional T2DM treatments such as metformin, sulfonylureas, and insulin therapy are effective. Still, they can lead to side effects, including gastrointestinal disturbances, hypoglycemia, renal impairment, weight gain, and complications associated with injection procedures. The herbal remedies are considered a natural alternative with fewer adverse effects. Acanthus ilicifolius (Jeruju) contains antioxidant compounds such as flavonoids, alkaloids, and saponins and may serve as a complementary therapy. This study investigated the effect of jeruju leaf brew at 6 ml/kg/day and 12 ml/kg/day on tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) levels. Using a true experiment with a randomized post-test only with a control group design, 30 rats were divided into five groups (K0, K−, K+, P1, and P2). After 28 days of intervention, groups P1 and P2 showed significant reductions in TNF-α (7.80 pg/ml and 6.94 pg/ml, respectively) and HOMA-IR (3.75 and 3.28, respectively). These findings indicate that a higher dose of jeruju leaf brew results in greater reductions in TNF-α and HOMA-IR levels in T2DM rats.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder marked by chronic hyperglycemia and oxidative stress, which can reduce the activity of antioxidant enzymes like Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) and Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx). Acanthus ilicifolius (jeruju) contains antioxidant compounds such as flavonoids and phenolics that may enhance these enzyme activities. Evaluate the effect of Acanthus ilicifolius leaf infusion on SOD and GPx activity in Wistar rats induced with type 2 diabetes using Streptozotocin-Nicotinamide (STZ-NA). The experimental design used a post-test only with five groups: normal control (no diabetes, standard feed), positive control (diabetes + metformin 45 mg/kgBW), negative control (diabetes without treatment), treatment group 1 (diabetes + metformin 45 mg/kgBW + jeruju infusion 1.2 ml/200gBW), and treatment group 2 (diabetes + metformin 45 mg/kgBW + jeruju infusion 2.4 ml/200gBW). Treatments were given daily for 30 days, and all rats had free access to food and water. At the end of the study, blood samples were collected to measure SOD and GPx activity using spectrophotometry. The combination of Acanthus ilicifolius infusion and metformin particularly at the 2.4 ml/200gBW dose, was associated with elevated SOD P2 treatment group (76.23 ± 3.65 U/mL; p = 0.000 (<0.05)) and GPx activities P2 (52.11 ± 0.76 U/mL; p = 0.000 (<0.05))  compared to the untreated diabetic group K- (SOD) (28.43 ± 3.17 U/mL) and K- (GPx)(24.18 ± 1.08 U/mL). These findings proves Acanthus ilicifolius infusion holds potential as an adjuvant therapy to mitigate oxidative stress in type 2 diabetes by enhancing SOD and GPx enzyme activities.
