The Effect of Durian (Durio zibethinus) Seeds and Albedos Extract on Reducing Cholesterol Levels
Abstract
This research aims to determine the potential of durian to reduce cholesterol levels. This research used a completely randomised design as the basis for determining the sample size. There were 5 treatment groups, including durian seed extract (T1), durian albedo extract (T2), a combination of seed and albedo extract (T3) and those 3 treatment groups were given at a dose of 0.28 mg/head/day, quail eggs at a dose of 0.5 mL/head/day, and cholesterol reducing medication at 50 mg/head/day. The data were analyzed using the One Way ANOVA Test, which showed that p (0.004) < 0.05, leading to the conclusion that there was a real differences between all treatment groups. The seed extract group experienced the largest average decrease, namely 49.15 mg/dL, while the average decrease in the combination seed-albedo extract group and cholesterol reducing medication was 43.0 mg/dL, 33.4 mg/dL, and 28.7 mg/dL, respectively. The conclusion of this research is durian seed extract and albedo are effective in reducing cholesterol levels in the blood.
