Efficacy and functionality of sugarcane original vinegar on mice

Area of Science:

• Food Science
• Toxicology
• Immunology

Background:

• Functional foods and natural medicines are valued for bioactive compounds and health benefits.
• Vinegar, derived from sugarcane original vinegar (SOV), is recognized for its bioactivities.
• SOV is produced from sugarcane through biological fermentation.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the safety and functionality of SOV in mice.
• To assess SOV's impact on growth, immunity, and toxicity.
• To analyze SOV's effects on serum characteristics and genetic material.

Main Methods:

• Assessed growth performance and immune response in mice.
• Conducted acute oral toxicity tests.
• Performed bacterial reverse mutation assays and mammalian erythrocyte micronucleus tests.
• Examined mouse spermatogonial and bone marrow cell chromosome aberrations.
• Monitored serum characteristics and distortion parameters.

Main Results:

• SOV demonstrated no mutagenic or distortion-inducing effects on chromosomes.
• No damage or inhibitory effects were observed on mouse bone marrow red blood cells.
• SOV improved blood lipid profiles by reducing lipid content.
• SOV positively influenced performance and immune response.

Conclusions:

• Sugarcane original vinegar (SOV) is safe for consumption.
• SOV offers health benefits, including improved blood lipids and immune function.
• Results support the development of high-value SOV products from sugarcane.
