The present research was pointed to the protective impact of anthocyanin and betalain dye of pomegranate juice (P), beetroot juice (BR), and their mixture (PB) versus Ehrlich-ascites-carcinoma (EAC)-bearing female mice. Female mice were orally administrated with pomegranate, beetroot juices and their mixture (1 ml/ day), for sequential 15 days then, injected (i.p) by EAC. Cisplatin drug was injected two times as a comparative chemical drug. The results manifested that P BR and PB juices as anthocyanin and betalain dye sources significantly enhanced biological evaluation. Juice mixture induced significant decrement of the liver functions. Pomegranate and mixture juices have significantly decrement of undesirable blood lipids, versus increment benefit HDL and have major power to decrement of tumor cell count. Hence, the current study confirmed that these plant foods which have red dye can significantly protect the cells from EAC and improve the biochemical analysis and biological evaluation of the experimental animals.
