Abstract

<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family: " times="" new="" roman","serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"times="" roman";mso-bidi-font-family:="" mangal;mso-ansi-language:en-gb;mso-fareast-language:en-us;mso-bidi-language:="" hi"="" lang="EN-GB">An antioxidant rich, sugar free (no added sugar) beverage was developed using a novel source of natural sugar i.e. mahua (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">Madhuca indica</i>) flower juice concentrate and amla (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">Emblica officinalis</i>) juice. Three different concentrations of mahua (20, 40 and 60 ^oBrix) were blended with amla in six different proportions (90%, 75%, 50%, 40%, 25% and 10%) and were analyzed for total phenol content, DPPH radical scavenging activity, sugar profile and organoleptic property. The blend prepared from 40^oBrix mahua having 50% amla was found to be the blend of choice.</span>
