“…Poly herbal formulations like Garlicare tablet, ginger capsule consisting the extracts of Hypericum perforatum, Allium sativum, Zingiber officinalis and Valeriana officinalis has been shown to contain the energy levels of 330.10 Kcal/100g and 372.40 Kcal/100g respectively (Hussain, et al, 2010). Gupta et al (2012) (Jaworska and Bernas, 2009;Helenoa et al, 2015), the energy levels of PHF granules in the present study are close to Boletus edulis. In the present study, it was also observed that the drink prepared by addition of 7.10% of the formulated granules yielded approximately 54 Kcal of energy which is higher than the values reported by other sports drinks that are developed in India (Sahu et al, 2005).…”

Two poly herbal granules (AVII and SBWII) were developed utilizing the extracts of five medicinal plants on the basis of organoleptic evaluation, nutritional composition and shelf life. Five medicinal plants viz., Asparagus racemosus, Chlorophytum borivilianum, Tinospora cordifolia, Tribulus terrestris and Withania somnifera enriched with general tonic and health promoting property were selected for the formulations which were based on Aloe vera gel and soyabean whey. The nutrient analysis of the formulated granules exhibited that the carbohydrates were the major constituents in both AVII and SBWII, followed by protein and total ash. Fat contents were 0.96 and 1.18 g/100g in AVII and SBWII, respectively. The energy levels of AVII and SBWII were 378 and 377 Kcal/100g, correspondingly. Higher contents of Ca (70.20 mg/ 100g), Mg (85.27mg/100g) and P (61.55 mg/100g) were observed in SBWII. The trace elements revealed that, Zn and Fe content were 1.84 and 8.63mg/100g in AVII and 1.85 and 7.85mg/100g in SBWII, respectively. The retention and stability of vitamin C, total sugar, reducing sugar and non-reducing sugar for 270 days illustrated the storage life of the product in ambient condition.

India is gifted with 8000 medicinal and 2500 aromatic herbs, many of which can be mined for natural chemicals and processed for commercial products with export value. Herbs are beneficial for human health as it contains significant amount of micronutrients, vitamins, antioxidants, phytochemicals and fibre content that may help protect against degenerative diseases and micronutrient malnutrition. Still, herbs are considered as alternative medicine and primary source of health care for 80 per cent of the world. Popular fresh herbs include basil, chives, cilantro/coriander, dill, mint, parsley, rosemary, and lemongrass. Product prepared from herbs can be fresh, dried whole or ground, oleoresins and steam distilled oils. Growing demand for products derived from medicinal and aromatic herbs across the world have opened up entrepreneurial opportunities to process these herbs for value added products. Large and small scale value addition through processing can be done by unskilled rural youth and unemployed, educated urban youth. The variety in value addition allows the small-scale farmer to potentially have a diverse portfolio of products that derive from the same crop and so not only have more marketing flexibility, but also more chances of earning income from the diverse products. So, the present paper has been structured to highlight the opportunities in this industry for young, innovative entrepreneurs and farmers for commencing successful, eco-friendly and natural product small scale enterprises.

The current study sought to investigate the anti-fatigue efficacy of poly herbal granule (PHG) formulations of the extracts of Asparagus racemosus, Chlorophytum borivilianum, Tinospora cordifolia, Tribulus terrestris and Withania somnifera enriched with general tonic and health promoting properties based on Aloe vera gel and soyabean whey in Swiss mice. The nutrient compositions of the selected PHG exhibited that the carbohydrates were the major constituents in both AVII and SBWII, followed by protein and total ash. Fat contents were 0.96 and 1.18 g100g -1 in AVII and SBWII, respectively. The energy levels of AVII and SBWII were 378 and 377 kcal100g -1 , correspondingly. Higher contents of Ca (70.20 mg100g -1 ), Mg (85.27mg100g -1 ) and P (61.55 mg100g -1 ) were observed in SBWII. The trace elements revealed that, Zn and Fe content were 1.84 and 8.63mg100g-1 in AVII and 1.85 and 7.85mg100g -1 in SBWII, respectively. The retention and stability of Vitamin C, total sugar, reducing sugar and non-reducing sugar for 270 days illustrated the storage life of the product in ambient condition. The body weight of mice, swimming time and corresponding biochemical parameters including haemoglobin, serum protein and blood glucose level were measured by standard method. The oral administration with PHG supplement for 30 days markedly increased the body weight (11.40-11.80%), haemoglobin (11.82-12.46%), serum protein (3.77-6.02%) of the mice. Following forced swimming test (FST), prolonged exhaustive exercise time of 231.02 (AVII), 237.50 (SBWII) minutes were recorded for PHG supplemented groups which were 36.23 (AVII) and 37.97 (SBWII) per cent longer than that of the control group. The minute increase of blood glucose levels (4.51-4.37%) in PHG supplemented Swiss mice after FST as compared to tremendous increase in blood glucose level (40.07%) in the control group illustrated the anti-fatigue activity of PHG.
