Development and Evaluation of Lycopene-Fortified Pomegranate ORS
Abstract: This study introduces a novel formulation of Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) enriched with lycopene and pomegranate juice concentrate, aiming to elevate both its therapeutic and nutritional value. By integrating natural antioxidants with conventional WHO-standard ORS ingredients, the researchers evaluated its physicochemical properties, antioxidant potential, sensory acceptability, and stability. It is evident that the fortified formulation not only met hydration standards but also showed promising antioxidant activity and high consumer acceptance during sensory trials. This suggests that the new lycopene-enriched pomegranate ORS may serve as an effective and natural alternative to conventional solutions, combining hydration with added health benefits.
