Abstract:
Development of new innovative food product, rich in major and minor nutrients are required for adults. The aim of this research was to formulate a nutritious flavoured honey using different components and to study its nutritional, functional profile. Samples were taken in four different compositions with addition of Brahmi, Clove and Honey in different concentrations. Results showed that out of four samples with different concentrations S1 demonstrated the highest percentage of antioxidant activity (57.4±0.4) followed by samples S2, S3 and S4 which reported 56.4±0.2%, 55.6±0.2% and 53.2±0.3% antioxidant activity respectively. Cloves which include eugenol increase self-life of new food product. Consumption of this flavoured honey also helps to strengthen an individual’s immune system.
