Abstract
Anita (Indian gooseberry ) and Iramusu (Heinidesmiis indices) are locally available herbaceous plants. As Kraft (2007) reveals some plants or part of the plant such as seeds, barriers, roots, leaves, bark or flowers are used for medical purposes. High levels of pharmaceutical value of these two herbals and high levels of nutritional value of y 8*•• could be used to develop Nutraceutical yoghurt. Stephen ( 1992) defined the word Nutraceutical as “Food or part of food, that provide medical or health benefits, including the prevention or treatment for disease". However, studies aimed at developing
Nutraceutical fermented dairy products are scarce. Hence the present study was carried out to assess the effect of incorporation of Amla (Indian gooseberry ) and Iramusu ( I-Ieiii idesiiiiis indices) herbal extracts in yoghurt on it’s organoleptic properties and nutritional profile.
