The Effect of spray dried butterfly pea (clitoria ternatea l.) Leaf extraction on alloxan-induced diabetic mice
revious study has shown that the leaves of Clitoria ternatea L. possess hypoglycemic effect on alloxan-induced diabetic mice. The present study was aimed to elucidate the antihyperglycemic activity of butterfly pea leaf powder. The powder was obtained from the extract by using spray drying. The parameters of spray drying were the inlet drying temperature, carrier agent type and its concentration. The best spray drying method obtained was at 180┬░C inlet temperature with 15% of carrier agent concentration. The carrier agent type consisted of skim milk and maltodextrin. Daily administration of spray dried powder (200 mg/kg body weight) obtained from the spray drying in which maltodextrin as the carrier agent showed hypoglycemic effect towards the blood glucose level of alloxan-diabetic mice.
