Suman Pal, Sushma, Yashodhara Verma
Abstract: The study was done to evaluate the effect of various extracts i. e. fresh; lyophilized and purified saponin of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) on emulsification and foaming index; osmotic fragility; ; super oxide dismutase and catalase in cardiovascular patients blood samples. Among the studied extracts; fresh tomato extract treatment showed the highest haemolytic effect in comparison to normal blood. Cardiovascular patients blood showed more superoxide dismutase and catalase activities as compared to normal blood. Further purified saponin was found to be more effective than fresh aqueous and lyophilized extracts of saponin.
