Abstract: India is the largest producer of fruits and vegetable but the processing and
utilization rate of it is very less. Apart from this fruits and vegetables are recognized as one of
the cornerstone of the healthy diet and contain benefiting component which provides essential
nutrition for promoting and maintaining healthy life. Therefore the investigation focused on
the blending of different ingredient for development of health drink to increase its utilization.
Screening of ingredients was done on the basis of taste and nutritional parameters. Bioactivity
of selected ingredients like beetroot, moringa leaves and pineapple were evaluated and
optimize the concentration ratio (25:15:60) of ingredient on the basis of sensory parameters.
Further the behavior of developed drink were studied at 28 ± 2°C and 4 ± 2°C temperatures
with different preservatives and found that drink can be stored satisfactorily for a period of 10
weeks at refrigeration temperature (4 ± 2°C) and 6 weeks at (28 ± 2°C) with addition of
sodium benzoate. Developed drink will open newer vistas to food processing industries and
producers.

INTRODUCTION
India is the world’s largest producer of many fresh fruits and vegetables. India’s vast
geographical area coupled with varied climate conditions facilitates to grow a variety of fruits
and vegetables. India produced around 81.285 MT fruits and 162.187 MTs of vegetables
which accounts for nearly 14.0% of country’s share in the world production of vegetables
(Rais and Sheoran, 2015). Although It has been found that 30 – 40 percent of fruits and
vegetables are wasted due to post harvest losses. Waste percentages in each step of the food
supply chain in India which is the cause of low availability of fruits and vegetables for
consumers and the need for import of them in spite of India being second largest producer.
India, the world’s second largest fruit and vegetable producer encounters a waste of close to
25% worth of produce (Rais and Sheoran, 2015).

The beetroot (Beta vulgaris) is the taproot portion of the beet plant, also known
as the table beet, garden beet, red or golden beet or informally simply as the beet. In
recent years increased attention has been focused on utilization of healthy foods. The
beetroot (Beta vulgaris) being an alkaline food with pH from 7.5 to 8.0 has been
acclaimed for its health benefits, in particular for its disease fighting antioxidant
potential, significant amount of vitamin C and vitamins B1, B2, niacin, B6, B12 and
excellent source of vitamin A . The claimed therapeutic use of beetroot includes its
antitumor, carminative, emmenagogue and hemostatic and renal protective properties
and is a potential herb used in cardiovascular conditions . Beetroot is known to be a
powerful antioxidant. Consumption of natural produce beetroot juice which is rich in
antioxidant compounds may help to redress the balance between RONS production and
endogenous protection when the body is under oxidative stress. Beetroot is an excellent
source of folate and a good source of manganese. Betaine has several noted effects
related to human health and function, including acting as an osmolyte (protecting cells
against dehydration), as an antioxidant agent (protecting cells against free radicals), as
a methyl group donor (lowering potentially harmful levels of homocysteine), and as a
vascular protectant . (Dambalkar V. S. et al.,2013).
Pineapple is one of the most popular tropical fruit that is well known for its juicy
sweet taste. This fruit is rich in nutrition and contains high amount of vitamins,
minerals, fibers and enzymes. Pineapples are a good source of vitamin-C and free from
cholesterol. This healthy nutritious fruit can be eaten raw as well as can be used in
preparing various tasty recipes. The sodium content of the fruit is also very low. The
micro nutrients content of this fruit helps to protect us from many diseases like cancer,
stroke and other heart problems. Pineapple juice also helps to kill intestinal worms and
helps to relieve intestinal disorders. The chemicals that this fruit contain stimulate the
kidneys and aids in removing toxic elements in the body (Petronella.2011).
Moringa oleifera belonging to the family of Moringaceae is an effective remedy for
malnutrition. Every part of Moringa oleifera is a store house of important nutrients and
antinutrients. The leaves of Moringa Oleifera are rich in minerals like calcium, potassium,
zinc, magnesium, iron and copper. Vitamins like beta-carotene of vitamin A, vitamin B such
as folic acid,pyridoxine and nicotinic acid, vitamin C, D and E; are present. In fact, moringa
is said to provide 7 times more vitamin C than oranges, 10 times more vitamin A than carrots,
17 times more calcium than milk, 9 times more protein than yoghurt, 15 times more

potassium than bananas and 25 times more iron than spinach. Moringa is rich in phytosterols
like stigmasterol, sitosterol and kampesterol which are precursors for hormones. The
phytochemicals such as tannins, sterols, terpenoids, flavonoids, saponins, anthraquinones,
alkaloids and reducing sugar are present along with anti-cancerous agents like glucosinolates,
isothiocyanates. The fact that moringa is easily cultivable makes it a sustainable remedy for
malnutrition. Children It is used to treat malnutrition in children younger than 3 years. About
6 spoonfuls of leaf powder can meet a woman's daily iron and calcium requirements, during
pregnancy reported by Gopalakrishnan et al.,( 2016).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Raw material: Beetroot, Pineapple will be purchased from the local market and necessary
pre-treatments such as washing, grading, sorting etc., will be carried out. Moringa leaves will
be collected from department of botany Shivaji University Kolhapur and further Beetroot,
Pineapple and Moringa leaves would be use for preparation of juice for blending purpose.
Physicochemical analysis of raw material: Moringa leaves, Beetroot and Pineapple was
analyzed for their physical and physico-chemical analysis i.e. moisture, crude fat, ash, crude
fiber and crude protein, etc. contents following standard methods (Ranganna 1986).
Total Phenolic Content
TPC was determined using the calorimetric Folin–Ciocalteu method (Chavan et al.,
2013).0.2mL of diluted extracts were mixed with 1 mL of 1:10 diluted Folin–Ciocalteu
reagent and reacted for 5 min. 0.8 mL of 7.5% sodium carbonate was added to the mixture,
and incubated for 30 min in the dark at 27 ± 2 ◦ C. Absorbance was measured at 765 nm on
the spectrophotometer. Gallic acid was used as a standard. The standard graph was prepared
by using gallic acid in the range with different concentrations gave a regression equation Y
=0.002X + 0.039 (R2= 0.999).
Determination of % radical scavenging activity (Antioxidant Activity).
The beetroot powders and beetroot concentrate, amaranth extract was analyzed for
free radical scavenging activity. The total antioxidant property of beetroot powder was
determined by 2, 2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazil radical (DPPH) in terms of % radical
scavenging activity. DPPH solution (1 mg/ml) was made by dissolving DPPH in methanol.
DPPH solution (100 μl) was diluted to 5 ml and absorbance was taken at 535 in UV-
Spectrophotometer. The absorbance was taken as control absorbance. The extract (100μl) was
made by dissolving required beetroot powder in methanol; then it was added with 100μl of

Conclusion
It is possible to blend pineapple, beetroot and moringa leaves in different proportion
to prepare ready-to-serve beverage. The colour and flavour of any processed product plays an
important role while tasting the same. The processed RTS beverages was found to be highly
acceptable in taste and secured the organoleptically scores as 8.5. The blended pineapple,
beetroot and moringa leaves ready-to-serve beverages are having high potential for
commercialization and marketability. The introduction of new types of value added and
nutrient enriched fruit juice based beverages might improve socio-economic status of the
country by enhancing the export trades.This study suggest that beetroot, pineapple and
