Natural sources of antioxidant viz. basil (Ocimum sanctum), coriander (Coriandrum sativum), pudina (Mentha arvensis) have been used to fortify sandesh, in the form of herbal juice @ 4%, 5%, 5% (w/v basis of chhana) level individually into sandesh, a heat-acid coagulated product which is analogous to cottage cheese. Incorporation of herbs at this level significantly (p<0.01) affect the total polyphenol content and antioxidant level of sandesh. Herbal Sandesh (Pudina) showed the highest antioxidant level as compared to other laboratory made Herbal Sandesh. Considering the findings it can be concluded that pudina (mint) might constitute a rich and novel source of natural antioxidants and may be suggested as a new potential source of natural antioxidant and could be used as food additive.
