Linn) and Go-Ksheera (Cow milk) W.S.R. to the concept of Samyoga Viruddha JF - International Journal of Ayurvedic Medicine JA - IJAM VL - 11 IS - 3 SE - Research Articles DO - 10.47552/ijam.v11i3.1635 UR - https://ijam.co.in/index.php/ijam/article/view/1635 SP - 415-418 AB - <p>Certain diets and their combinations have properties opposite to the&nbsp;tissues of the body<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp; </span>which thereby inhibit and interrupt their normalcy and these are described as&nbsp;<em>Viruddha Ahara</em>&nbsp;(incompatible diets) in <em>Ayurveda.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span></em> Various types of&nbsp;<em>Viruddha Ahara</em>&nbsp;have been described in the classical texts of <em>Ayurveda</em> and <em>Samyoga Viruddha</em> (incompatability due to the combination) is one among them. Among the various examples quoted for <em>samyoga viruddha</em>, combination of <em>kadaliphala </em>(<em>Musa paradisiaca.</em> Linn) and <em>Go-Ksheera</em> (Cow milk) is one. The present study discusses the DPPH radical scavenging activity of the individual items and the combination of banana and milk. Materials and methods: The antioxidant activities of banana, milk and combination of banana and milk was determined by DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazine) radical scavenging assay in comparison with vitamin C standard. Results: The Percentage inhibition of the discoloration of DPPH by the sample extract was expressed against vitamin C standard. The % inhibition of banana was 62.86 whereas the milk was having 69.01% inhibition. The % inhibition of the combination was 46.21. Conclusion: DPPH radical scavenging activity of combination of <em>kadaliphala</em> (banana) and <em>Go-Ksheera</em> (milk) found a significant decrease in the percentage of inhibition when compared to the individual sample indicating towards the incompatibility in their combination or <em>Samyoga Viruddha.</em></p> ER -
