Abstract:
Caramel candy, with its luscious texture and sweet taste, has enjoyed enduring popularity as a beloved confectionery. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in incorporating herbal ingredients into traditional treats to enhance their appeal and potential health benefits. This review explores the fusion of Giloy, a medicinal herb deeply rooted in Ayurvedic traditions, with caramel candy, resulting in a unique confection that combines indulgence with potential wellness advantages. By infusing caramel candy with Giloy, the rich, buttery flavours harmonize with the herbal essence, creating a tantalizing blend. Furthermore, Giloy's reputed antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties offer an additional layer of potential health benefits. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the preparation method, highlighting the potential synergistic effects of combining caramel candy and Giloy. The results showed that the different concentrations of giloy Powder had a significant impact on several response variables. Moisture content (p≤ 0.0055), total sugar (p≤ 0.0053), reducing sugar (p≤ 0.0025), ascorbic acid (p≤ 0.002), β-carotene (p≤ 0.0065), DPPH (p≤ 0.0106), and sensory acceptability (p≤ 0.0204) were all significantly affected by the varying concentrations of giloy powder.
