The use of colorants in the dried noodle manufactures is an effort of product diversification. Besides of being used as a natural coloring agent, this peel extract is also used to improve nutritional value of the expected product. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of red dragon fruit peel extract on the physical quality of dried noodle.  The study was conducted by using Completely Randomized Design (CRD) method with one factor, namely concentration of red dragon fruit peel extract (N1 = 10 ml, N2 = 15 ml, N3 = 20 ml, N4 = 25 ml, N5 = 30 ml).  The observations of its physical quality consisted of water absorption, solid loss during cooking, and organoleptic tests (aroma and color).  The best quality of dried noodle was obtained by using 30 ml red dragon fruit peel extract (N5) with physical properties, namely DSA levels of 351.92%, solid loss during cooking 4.78%, aroma 3.79 (like) and color 3.89 (like).

Effective use of antimicrobial agents for treatment/management of infectious diseases is decreasing due to emergency of multi-drug and cross resistant strains of pathogenic microbes. Medicinal plants are now increasingly used alone or as an adjunct in the management of infectious diseases as a result of their claimed efficacy and safety. This research focused on evaluating the antimicrobial potential of ethanol fruit peel extract of Mangifera indica against isolated Urinary tract infection (UTI) pathogens. Urinary tract infection (UTI) bacterial strains (staphylococcus aureus, escherichia coli and pseudomonas aeruginosa) were isolated from midstream urine of infected students using standard procedures after which the isolated Urinary tract infection pathogens were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility test by agar-well diffusion method (Cup plate method) and the mean diameter of growth inhibition zones (n=3) of the extract at different concentrations were compared against the controls (sterile water and ciprofloxacin). Ethanol fruit peel extract of Mangifera indica significantly and dose dependently inhibit the growth of all the isolated Urinary tract infection pathogens with E.coli exhibiting the highest inhibition zone ranging from 16.83 to 28.23 mm, this was followed by pseudomonas aeruginosa with inhibition zone of 24.33 mm and staphylococcus aureus least susceptible with 22.63 diameter of zone inhibition. Ethanol fruit peel extract of Mangifera indica demonstrated a dose dependent antimicrobial activity with more pronounced effect exhibited by E. coli suggesting that the extract is more effective against gram negative bacteria despite their permeability barrier, thus suggesting Mangifera indica fruit peel as a potential candidate for the management of bacterial infections especially those caused by gram negative organisms.

The main aim of this study was to screen the selected fruit peel extracts and their polyherbal mixture (PHM) for hepatoprotective activity. Male wistar albino rats (180-200 g), divided into 12 groups after induction of hepatotoxicity, were treated with selected fruit peel extracts and PHM and at the end of 14th day blood and liver samples were collected and analysed. The aqueous peel extract of Malus pumila was a better hepatoprotective among the selected peel extracts. The activities might be due to the conditioning of hepatocytes by protecting the integrity of the membrane from CCl4 induced leakage of serum markers into circulation. All the selected plant extracts and PHM were shown to revert back the liver enzymes to the normal values in diseased rats in a dose dependent manner. In conclusion, the selected fruit peel extracts and poly herbal mixture can be a potent hepatoprotective agent due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions.

BACKGROUND: The Passion Fruit (Passiflora sp.) that grows in the Indonesian region generally has three varieties, namely purple passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims.), red passion fruit (Passiflora ligularis Juss.), and yellow passion fruit (Passiflora verrucifera Lindl.). The passion fruit peel is an economic waste that has not been utilised optimally, but has many efficacious phytochemical contents. AIM: The objectives of this research are to examine scientifically hepatoprotective activity (with paracetamol-induced hepatotoxic) and nephroprotective activity (with gentamicin-induced nephrotoxic) from three varieties of the passion fruit (purple passion fruit peel extract, red passion fruit peel extract and yellow passion fruit peel extract) in the albino rat (Rattus norvegicus). METHODS: Three varieties of passion fruit peels were extracted by maceration method. The experimental animals used were the albino rat (Rattus norvegicus). Hepatoprotective activity was done by the liver biochemical (alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase) analysis with paracetamol (hepatotoxic compound) induced after 10 days of treatment with extract. Nephroprotective activity was done by the kidney biochemical (urea and creatinine) analysis with gentamicin (nephrotoxic compound) induced after 10 days of treatment with extract. RESULTS: The hepatoprotective activity for positive control was similar to the 250 mg of purple passion fruit peel extract per kg of body weight, 250 mg of red passion fruit peel extract per kg of body weight, and 500 mg of yellow passion fruit peel extract per kg of body weight. The nephroprotective activity for positive control (50 mg of silymarin per kg of body weight) was similar to the 250 mg of purple passion fruit peel extract per kg of body weight, 500 mg of red passion fruit peel extract per kg of body weight, and 500 mg of yellow passion fruit peel extract per kg of body weight. CONCLUSIONS: The extracts were shown hepatoprotective activity and nephroprotective activity with a dose-dependent activity. The hepatoprotective activity and nephroprotective activity of purple passion fruit peel extract were the best compared to red passion fruit peel extract and yellow passion fruit peel extract.
