Formulation and evaluation of neutraceutical powder

Abstract

The overall aim of this present study was to formulate and evaluate Nutraceutical powder. The crude rugs used in this preparation are Amla, Pomegranate, Guava, Ashwagandha, Tulsi and Beetroot (colouring agent) for effective formulation. These crude rugs contain active constituents like Ellargic acid, Myrtillin, Quercetin, Somniferin, and Oleanolic acid respectively. The formulated Nutraceutical power was evaluated for Sensory evaluation, Bulk density, Tapped density, Hausner’s ratio, and Carr’s index, Angle of repose, Moisture content, and Ash value. Nutraceutical powders are food derived from plants and/or their derivatives such as roots, oils, seeds, leaves, flowers, etc. that support wellness and fight against acute and chronic ailments induced by unhealthy dietary fibres. Nutraceutical can be purchased in various formulations such as capsules, pills, Liquid, and gels. Some of the formulations are currently available in the market. This research has also shown the comparison of herbal Nutraceutical formulation with marketed formulations.
