Hypocholesterolemic effect of dietary fibre powder from pink guava by-product

This study analysed the hypocholesterolemic effect of dietary fibre powder (DFP) from pink guava by-product in Male Sparague-Dawley rats. In studying the hypocholesterolemic effect of DFP, 3 groups of 8 rats each was used. The three groups in this study were normal rats (basal diet), control rats (b...

description This study analysed the hypocholesterolemic effect of dietary fibre powder (DFP) from pink guava by-product in Male Sparague-Dawley rats. In studying the hypocholesterolemic effect of DFP, 3 groups of 8 rats each was used. The three groups in this study were normal rats (basal diet), control rats (basal diet + 1% cholesterol and 0.2% cholic acid), and treated rats (10% DFP + 1% cholesterol and 0.2% cholic acid). The experimental results showed that there was no significant difference (p>0.05) in the mean body weight gained and food efficiency between the rat’s feds with 10% DFP and those rats in control and cholesterol diet. As expected, 10% DFP had remarkable fecal bulking effect with fresh weights of feces were significantly (p<0.05) higher than in control and cholesterol group. Supplementation of 10% DFP had reduced total serum cholesterol (43%) and low-density lipoprotein levels (51%), however the high density and triglycerides levels were not affected within 30 days of experiments. From the lipid profiles analysis, it shown that DFP from pink guava by-product has potential to reduce total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and decrease the risk of cardiovascular diseases by decreasing the atherogenic index in rats. A potential cholesterol-lowering DFP could offer an opportunity to explore new product formulation utilizing pink guava processing by-product.
