DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF POLY HERBAL POWDER FORMULATION AS AN ENERGY BOOSTER
Abstract
In the present study, poly-herbal powder drink was developed using traditional herbs that proved nutritional potential. The key ingredients were selected as cinnamon, Amla, liquorice, lemon juice, tulsi, and mentha based on their household routine use in the summer with proven refreshing, cooling, and energetic feeling for ages. After several trials made, the final composition of the formulation was selected as the most suitable combination based on the taste and physicochemical properties. The physicochemical analysis of the prepared drink was found to contain an optimum level of pH which was following the commercial recommendations.
