Sub-chronic toxicological evaluation of the Baccaurea angulata (Belimbing Dayak) fruit juice in rats

Summary. Toxicity study on normal rats was carried out using freeze-dried whole fruit (FDWF) sample of Baccaurea angulata. Animals in these sub-chronic studies illustrated no significant changes in general behaviour, growth, and relative organ weights. In liver function test, total protein and alkal...

Toxicity study on normal rats was carried out using freeze-dried whole fruit (FDWF) sample of Baccaurea angulata. Animals in these sub-chronic studies illustrated no significant changes in general behaviour, growth, and relative organ weights.

Meanwhile, low dose female group (Group-II), there was significant increase in the same parameters, giving 63.70±5.28 g/L and 73.50±12.91 U/L respectively. In general, there was no evidence that demonstrated any tissue injury, the no-observable adverse effect level for B. angulata was 1,200 mg/kg administered orally for 13 weeks. Industrial relevance. The whole fruit juice of B. angulata, one of underutilized fruits found in Borneo island of Malaysia, has the potential to be utilized for preparation of health drink.
