Probiotics energy drink, anti-diabetic, Tomato, antioxidants

Probiotics are isolated cultures of beneficial bacteria which when incorporated in food is known to produce lots of health benefits. In this lactobacillus acidophilus, a lactic acid fermenting bacteria is known for its significant health benefits and good tolerance over acidic pH. Tomato juice on the other hand is known to be an anti diabetic and it also acts as a good energy drink. It’s rich in vitamins, minerals along with antioxidants. The aim of this work is to develop an energy drink combining the benefits of both lactobacillus acidophilus and tomato juice with an additional touch of jaggery and to evaluate its physical, chemical and biological characteristics. The tomato juice was initially prepared from freshly available tomatoes in the market, it was pasteurized and added with lactobacillus acidophilus inoculum and jaggery, after thorough mixing, incubated for a day, filled into airtight containers and refrigerated. The juice thus prepared was subjected to sensory analysis and the presence of lactobacillus acidophilus was tested by gram staining and antimicrobial testing. Further tests were done to estimate the nutritional value of the product, finding the levels of carbohydrate, fat, protein especially vitaminc and iron. The pH, acidity and the lactobacillus acidophilus counts were monitored at intervals of 2 days. The results show that the products sensory and nutritional characteristics were good and the lactobacillus acidophilus culture remained viable and were maintained above the needed levels for 10 days under refrigerated storage. Thus this work has resulted in the preparation and sensory evaluation of a probiotic energy drink with good health benefits as well as consumer acceptance.
