Abstract

Herbal medicine is the application of fruit extracts for medicinal purposes; plants are the primary source of the majority of the ingredients in herbal syrup. Not only there different natural medicine dosages provided, but there are also syrup formulas. Nowadays, syrup is utilized to manage the symptoms of many different ailments. Since free radicals are created by the body as a result of oxidative reactions and a variety of stresses, antioxidant syrups are used to cure cancer. The pineapple extract adds flavor to the orange peel syrup, while the basil leaf extract acts as an antibiotic to prevent the formation of bacteria. Sugar and alcohol are employed as preservatives. Four formulations (designated as F1, F2, F3, and F4) were made using different amounts of sugar, alcohol, and syrup in the final volume. Parameters like as density, specific gravity, pH, and organoleptic properties were used to produce each formulation. The findings demonstrated that, in comparison to the other formulations, herbal syrup formulation (F2) is more elegant and stable.

Conclusion

Compared to formulations F1, F3, and F4, the final formulation (F2) that was obtained is stable. By minimizing the error in formulations F1, F2, and formulation (F2) was obtained. Because formulation (F2) has antioxidant properties, it will be very beneficial for enterprises and researchers to produce comparable formulations on a wide scale. This project’s objective was to create and assess an herbal cough syrup. The current study has aided in our understanding of the many types of coughs and the elements that contribute to coughing. A small study was conducted on herbal remedies for cough. The study demonstrates that the use of herbal remedies, which have less or no side effects, is more advantageous than allopathy, which employs conventional medications for therapy. Treatments with herbs are more commonly chosen. Availability of herbal medications is easier than that of prescription drugs. This study aids in our understanding of cough and preventative strategies. All three formulation’s pre-formulation investigations met specifications. Three formulations were made, and tests for pH, color, odor, and taste were conducted. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of herbal cough syrup in comparison to chemical-based syrups
