Abstract The present study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of vitamin C enriched gummies prepared using starfruit (Averrhoa carambola), a natural and rich source of ascorbic acid. The objective was to develop a palatable, nutritional beneficial and consumer-friendly dosage form as an alternative to conventional vitamin supplements. Fresh starfruit extract was incorporated into gummy formulations using suitable gelling agents such as gelatin or agar-agar, along with sweeteners to improve taste and acceptability.
The formulated gummies were evaluated for various physicochemical and quality parameters, including appearance, texture, PH, weight variation and stability. Vitamin C content was estimated using standard analytical methods to ensure nutritional adequacy. Sensory evaluation was conducted to assess taste, color, aroma and overall acceptability among participants.
The results indicated that the optimized formulation exhibited satisfactory organoleptic properties, good stability and retained a significant amount of vitamin C. The study concludes that starfruit-based vitamin C gummies can serve an effective and appealing nutraceutical product, especially for pediatric and geriatric populations who may have difficulty consuming conventional dosage forms.
