Formulation of nannari based nutrient rich soft drink

Most people consume soft drink for refreshment and quenching thirst. There are many types of soft drinks available in market whose common ingredients are normal water or carbonated water, sweetener, flavoring agents, caffeine, coloring agent and preservative. Since these soft drinks have very low nutritional density and younger generations are addicted to these soft drinks, hence in this investigation we have developed a soft drink with Nannari and lemon as main ingredient. Total seven variants were formulated by using Nannari, lemon, glucose and flavoring agents like vanilla or chocolate. All the variants were subjected for the sensory analysis subsequently obtained data was analyzed by SPSS software version 12. Results of sensory analysis revealed that SET3 and SET6 are the two best formulated soft drink. Formulated soft drinks approved by panelist member were subjected for the nutrient analysis in which protein, Vitamin C and few mineral content such as Na, K and Ca were analyzed. Both the variant SET3 and SET6 approved by panelist member were vanilla flavored but SET6 contained double the concentration of Nannari compaitive to SET3.
