| Popis: | Introduction: Phytonutrients like polyphenols, carotenoids, glucosinolates and phytoestrogens may not be as essential as micronutrients. But, these have been useful to prevent disease and keep the fitness of the body. Amla (Indian Gooseberry), guava, kokum and purple grapes are highly nutritious seasonal fruits, rich in these phytonutrients and micronutrients. Regular consumption of these fruit-based beverages can improve the antioxidant status and health of the young adults. Aim: The aim was to study efficacy of two formulations (F1 and F2) as health beverages made using juices of amla and dark grapes as main ingredients to be assessed as antioxidant rich natural fortificants. Materials and Methods: Fourty-eight healthy volunteers were recruited (age 18-35 years) and randomised in a double blind trial of four weeks comprising of three groups (placebo, F1 and F2). Placebo was pineapple flavoured sugar syrup, F1 was amla based syrup containing water extracts of tulsi, brahmi, bael and jambhul juice while F2 had purple grape juice as major ingredient along with guava, pomegranate and kokum juices in sugar syrup. Results were assessed using Two-way ANOVA followed by paired t-test and p-value |
