Abstract
Laboratory albino rats were grouped into different groups and fed with the methanol extract of beniseeds
and the fermented liquor of the seeds for a period of 21days to assess their effects on the biochemical and
liver functioning parameters of the rats. The result of the analyses showed that both the extract and liquor
cause significant increase in the level of bicarbonate, urea, uric acid and calcium while the creatinine level
had no significant difference. The liver functioning tests for the rats showed that both the extract and liquor
cause a little increase in the serum total protein and alkaline phosphatase without any significant rise in the
cholesterol level when compared with the control. There was, however a higher increase in cholesterol level
in the rats fed with extract than those fed with the fermented liquor. The results obtained from these in-vivo
analyses of fermented beniseed liquor and the methanol extract of beniseeds has shown that beniseed has
no deleterious effect on the organs of rats as well as on their biochemical parameters. It is therefore
recommended for human consumption as a good nutraceutic seed.
