Trial-I: normal diet
In trial-I normal diet was provided to rats. The normal
diet contained corn oil (10%), casein protein (10%), corn
starch (66%), casein (10%) and cellulose (10%). The mineral
and vitamin mixtures (AIN-76) were added @ 3% and
1%, respectively. The functional drinks (T1, T2, T3) were
provided in graduated bottles for a period of 8 weeks
(Table 1). Following similar approach, three other studies
were conducted to determine the impact of functional
drinks against respective diets.
