Dr. B. Premagowri

Abstract :

Viral infections play an important role in human diseases, and recent outeaks in the advent of globalization and ease of travel have underscored their prevention as a critical issue in safeguarding public health. A variety of phytoconstituents derived from medicinal herbs have been extensively studied for antiviral activity. Various studies also proved that rasam as an effective treatment for cold, throat infection, fever and flu. The objective of present study was to develop instant rasam mix incorporated with selected herbs solanum trilobatum, Oregano & Holy basil. The instant herbal rasam mix with the three selected herbas which have the antiviral properties was developed with three variations, variation I (solanum trilobatum 45g, oregano 10g, holy basil 5g), variation II (solanum trilobatum 40g, oregano 15g, holy basil 5g) and variation III (solanum trilobatum 35g, oregano 20g, holy basil 5g). Sensory evaluation was done for the three variations. The most accepted variation III was selected for physiochemical, nutrients and microbial analysis. Nutrient analysis of energy was 356.83 kcals, carbohydrates was 73.69g, protein was 9.18g, fat 4.87g, fiber 2.3g, potassium 289mg and vitamin C was 4.6mg respectively. Storage stability was found to be one month without preservative. In today’s world people prefer healthy Ready-to-cook and Ready-to-Eat food products due to the lack of time. Thus, identifying novel antiviral herbs and formulated as convenience foods is of critical importance.
