Abstract

The aim of this study is to provide natural ergogenic food products to the sports person. Marmalade is a food product made using fruit, peel and pulp. This acts as a convenient food for a sports person before a performance on the go. The ingredients Purple grapes, Watermelon and Beetroot juices were selected due to the following reasons. Purple grapes provide high run time (ergogenic effect) with the consumption of single dose. Watermelon juice relieves muscle soreness and fatigue. Beetroot juice increases the level of phosphocreatine resynthesis, increases muscle power in trained athletes and improves the release and reuptake of the calcium at the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The Synergistic marmalade was prepared in different variations and is compared with standard Grapes marmalade and the best one (Variation D) was selected using sensory analysis by 30 semi-trained panel members. The Nutrient analysis and Physiochemical analysis were carried out. The nutrients such as Potassium and Magnesium in Standard Grapes marmalade and Selected best sample were 210.3mg/100g and 10.16mg/100g and 213.6mg /100g and 12.32mg/100g respectively. Physiochemical analysis such as TSS was 65 % for standard as well as the selected variant, Titrable acidity was 0.67% for standard and 0.39% for selected variant and pH was 3.5 for standard and 3.27 for selected variant. All these parameters were tested to check the physical and chemical attributes of the Synergistic marmalade to be compared with the standard marmalade. The best variation was stored in two different packaging material – Glass jar and a Airtight plastic container in a refrigerator for a period of 21 days. During this period shelflife study was carried out using sensory evaluation and microbial analysis on 1st, 7th, 14th and 21st day. The results showed that the product is fit for consumption until 21 days and both the packaging were good for storage. The synergistic marmalade was popularized among adult sports persons by briefing on the significance, nutritional aspects, functional properties and other health benefits with the help of a pamphlet and questionnaire and analyzing the aftermath of the session.
