Abstract

The term nutraceutical is a hybrid of “nutrition” and “pharmaceutical”. Reportedly, it was coined in 1989 by DeFelice, Chairperson of the Foundation for Innovation in Medicine. It is applied to products that are isolated from herbal sources and serve as dietary supplements (nutrients). The idea of using phytocompounds in combination results in a dramatic synergism even at low concentrations. The beetroot is the taproot portion of the beet plant, usually known in North America as beets while the vegetable is referred to as beetroot in British English, and also known as the table beet, garden beet, red beet, dinner beet or golden beet. It is one of several cultivated varieties of beet vulgaris grown for their edible taproots and leaves called beet greens, They have been classified as the B.vulgaris Conditiva group. Carrots (Daucus carota Linn) are a multi-nutritional and multifunctional root vegetable, rich in natural phytochemicals (bioactive compounds), which are recognized for their nutraceutical effects and health benefits in the human body. The main aim of our research was to create a sustainable nutraceutical capsule containing a combination of beetroot and carrot in dry powder form for daily use as a health supplement. Also to identify and quantify the contents available in the capsule by various analytical techniques.
