Country India
Abstract The research project developed operational watermelon jelly through the use of ginger extract and basil seeds as its main ingredients. Watermelon serves as a refreshing base due to its high water content, while ginger provides digestive benefits and serves as an antioxidant. The product includes basil seeds to provide dietary fiber and natural cooling properties, which enable consumption during hot weather. The formulation combines attractive taste with additional health advantages. The jelly was prepared using appropriate gelling agents and optimized levels of sweeteners to achieve desirable texture and stability.
The researchers controlled main parameters through pH testing and total soluble solids measurement and moisture content assessment to achieve successful gel formation. The sensory evaluation results showed high acceptability for the product's flavor and texture and visual appearance. The developed product
demonstrates potential as a value-added functional jelly that meets the growing demand for innovative, health-oriented foods.
