Cheddar cheese undergoes significant changes resulting in numerous microbiological and biochemical processes called glycolysis, lipolysis, and proteolysis, accountable for a unique texture, aroma, appearance, and taste. Specific bioactive peptides developed during these biochemical reactions impart health benefits. Addition of probiotics boots the development of bioactive peptides in foods. Objective: The current research investigated the therapeutic potential of water-soluble peptides (WSPs) extracts from buffalo milk probiotic Cheddar cheese regarding anti-thrombic facets. Methods: The appropriateness of Buffalo milk for Cheddar manufacturing was assessed by analysing its pH, acidity, fat, protein, and total solids content. Two batches of Cheddar cheese were produced, one having a mixture of Probiotic microorganisms and commercially available mesophilic cheese starter and the second containing only commercially available cheese starters. Both of the cheese batches were analysed for their physicochemical properties. Water-soluble extract of Cheddar cheese samples was analysed for anti-thrombic effects after two-month intervals during ripening. Results: Three concentrations of WSE of buffalo milk cheddar cheese were used to assess the antithrombotic effect during 60, 120, and 180 days of ripening at 4°C. Antithrombotic activity increased with the ripening period for both control and probiotic cheddar cheese samples Conclusion: A significantly increased effect of antithrombotic activity was observed by Probiotic adjunct on control cheddar cheese.
Leucorrhoea is a common female problem; recurrent especially in women of reproductive age that may or not be associated with vaginal infection or elevated estrogen levels. It may accompany vaginal discharge, vulvae burning and itching, low backache, pains in lower abdomen and legs, general weakness and loss of appetite. This disorder is associated with psychological, physiological and pathological problems. Objectives: To investigate nutritional status of girls having leucorrhoea. The aim of this study was nutritional health status assessment of girls of university with special reference to leucorrhoea. Methods: The volunteer girls of sample size 150 were interviewed in the study. For this study leucorrhoea is categorized into 3 group’s mild moderate and severe. Results: The volunteers were from university of Sargodha between the ages of 16-40. In this study it was observed that out of 150 volunteers 82.5% were leucorrheal and 17.33% were none leucorrheal physiological status of girls were mostly influenced by socioeconomic status like 53.33% girls belong to lower middle income group and physical activity was also a major factor for leucorrhoea like most girls with leucorrhoea have sedentary lifestyle (56.66%). Further it was notice that one of the major causes of severe leucorrhoea was constipation which affects 76.47% girls. Conclusions: Leucorrhoea can be reduce or by better our socioeconomic status eating well natural food, reduce tension of income and overcome constipation which is bone of contention. If we stay in nature the diseases will avoid us.
Globally, cardiovascular illnesses are believed to have hypertension as their primary cause and most important contributing factor. According to Pakistan's National Health Survey, 33% of adults over the age of 45 and 18% of adults generally have hypertension. Objective: To determine the prevalence of hypertension and its risk factors in both urban and rural District Sahiwal, Punjab, Pakistan. Methods: The population under consideration includes people from both urban and rural regions of three hospitals for identification of hypertension. Questions regarding behavior including food, cigarette, and alcohol intake were posed. The behavioral calculations followed the physical measurements. After the patient had been at ease for 20 minutes, blood pressure was taken, and the person's BMI. Results: With an increase in age, hypertension prevalence occurs suddenly. The frequency of hypertension was 4.27% in the age group of 20-29 years, rising to 59.72% up to the maximum frequency in the age group of 50-59 years, after which it significantly decreased to 56.79%. Out of 500 men, 162 (32.4%) and 170 (34%) of 500 females had hypertension. The percentage of hypertensive was 168 (33.6%) and 164 (32.8%) out of 500 respondents in rural and urban regions, respectively. Conclusions: In this study, the prevalence of hypertension suggests that it is becoming more prevalent. The key contributors to this emerging trend include urbanization, lifestyle modifications, and nutrient deficiencies
Cholesterol is a natural substance produced by liver in human body According to research based on Framingham Heart Study, ideal cholesterol level is below than 150 mg/dL. Apricot (Prunus armeniaca) is an important medicinal plant belongs to family Rosaceae which is also grown in Pakistan. In local language it is called “Kubani” having nutritious flesh, pits containing kernels. Objective: To explore therapeutic potential of apricot kernel oil on hypercholesterolemic rabbits. Method: Apricot kernel oil was extracted by cold extraction method. Rabbits were adapted for two weeks before starting treatments. Total feed doses i.e. 250 g was divided in two portions and were given to rabbits in early morning and early evening. Food consumption for every rabbit was consistent to 250 g/day for four week’s experimentation. Results: After usage of 1 % apricot Kernel oil (supplemented) the maximum blood cholesterol level decreased from 159.38 mg/dL to 122.8 mg/dL and also decreased in blood triglyceride level was from 237.82 mg/ dL to 192.20 mg/ dL. The HDL contents of rabbits were increased from 26.750 mg/ dL to 33.450 mg/ dL. LDL contents of rabbits were decreases from 46.90 mg/ dL to 36.05 mg/ dL. VLDL contents of rabbits were decreases from 23.7 mg/ dL to 18.3 mg/ dL detected after Six weeks. Conclusion: Current study was carried out. Apricot kernel oil has ability to remove the lipid profile especially cholesterol
Yogurt has a higher consumer acceptance due to claimed health benefits and sensory characteristics. It provides 40% calcium and 30-45% phosphorus of an adult's requirements in a day, as well as the vital amino acids proline and glycine. It is an excellent source of protein, carbohydrates, calcium and phosphorus, vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, folate, and cobalamin, but low in fiber. Yogurt's health benefits might be enhanced by adding a source of dietary fiber to it. Objective: To investigate the impact of fiber addition on physicochemical and nutritional attributes of buffalo milk yogurt during storage. Method: Overall Six samples were prepared, one for control, four by adding 10% and 20% puree for each carrot and turnip in 200 mL buffalo milk yoghurt along with one composite sample of carrot and turnip. All six samples were analyzed for moisture, pH, acidity, ash, and protein after 07 and 14 days of ripening. Results: A significant decrease in pH was observed during storage of yoghurt. Acidity of yoghurt rise significantly with storage. Lowest acidity level was observed in control sample 0.83. Conclusion: Addition of Turnip and carrot puree improved therapeutic potential of yoghurt significantly by modifying its dietary fiber contents.
