Abstract

The present research work was conducted to standardize and examine different products of wheat grass juice for their sensory characteristics & to assess the clinical effect value of wheat grass juice on constipation. The value added products such as wheat grass soda, wheat grass juice, wheat grass lemonade, pineapple with wheat grass were developed from wheat grass juice. All the prepared products were acceptable through the study with slight decrease in overall acceptability. The subjects suffering from constipation were given wheat grass lemonade one time in a day which contained 4-8 oz. daily and significant improvement in the case of constipation was observed after administration of wheat grass products for 60 days in terms of colour, consistency and frequency of passing faeces. So incorporation of wheat grass juice and its products into existing dietary pattern will prove beneficial for a healthy body.
