DEVELOPMENT OF AN HERBAL ENERGY DRINK USING MEDICINAL PLANT EXTRACTS AND FURTHER STATISTICALLY ANALYSING THE SENSORY PROPERTIES BY ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE (ANOVA)
AbstractEnergy drinks (EDs) are caffeine-based beverages that commonly contains large amount of carbohydrates, sugar, health supplements and various energy stimulants, such as ginseng and vitamin B, to name a few. These drinks are marketed for young people actively involved in sports or overworking hours, as natural alternatives that increases fun and improve physical and cognitive performances such as attention, concentration and alertness. There are commonly held false perceptions that the consumption of EDs can rectify the impairment to human physiology because of alcohol consumption including visual reaction time and motor coordination, which is highly required for sports and driving activities, to name a few. The sensory analysis was done in the form of survey. The statistical analysis was done using SPSS software and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The graph was obtained between feedbacks (given by the candidates) and number of people for different sensory properties like smell, taste, flavour, texture, and colour.
