Abstract

Nowadays , Consumption of phenolic-rich  food  and beverages were  widely spread  due to their effect  against diseases. So, this study was a trial  to prepare  an untraditional beverage from green tea  and sweet basil and  biological and chemical properties  of each beverage were studied .Results of chemical analysis  showed an increase in both of moisture and protein contents  in sweet basil ,while  observed  increase in the amount of ash and carbohydrates in green tea was restricted . Sensory evaluation was conducted for combinations of green tea basil and the mixture containing an equal proportion of  green tea and sweet basil(1:1) recorded  highest consumer acceptance. Results of bioactive compounds  indicated  that  green tea , sweet basil and their mixture have a high content of total  phenolic and flavonoids compounds. But antioxidative effect DPPH not increased up to 70% in green tea and the mixture of green tea and sweet basil(1:1). Results also showed that presence of both Catechol  and Catechins were increased  in both of green tea and the  mixture of green tea and sweet basil  up to 1123.50, 985.24 and 987.38, 732.51 ppm, respectively . In addition, biological effect of  green tea and sweet basil  and  their mixture  on liver  functions and total lipids profile  in the blood serum  were studied. Experimental rats were treated  also with oral dosage with green tea and  sweet basil showed non-significant decrease in the activity of  ALT (36.91 IU/L)  in compared with control sample (26.2  6 IU/L).Also, an improvement in  all liver functions in rats treated with green tea and sweet basil against liver function  in rats  treated by CCl4. Also a marked improvement in lipids profile  in blood serum was observed . while ,  Histopathological examination  for liver  tissue revealed  that a reduction of the effects of injury resulting from liver poisoning with carbon tetrachloride  CCL4 by using a mixture of green tea and sweet basil .So, from this  present work  it could be concluded  the possibility of preparing rich phenolic beverage that can protect liver cells  and reduce , lipids and cholesterol content  through natural bioactive compounds and  natural antioxidant effects.
