Formulation and Evaluation of Pineapple Based Herbal Cough Syrup

The use of fruit extracts for therapeutic purposes is known as herbal medicine; most of the constituents in herbal syrup are derived primarily from plants. In addition to various natural medicine doses, syrup formulae are also offered. These days, syrup is used to treat the symptoms of a wide range of illnesses. Antioxidant syrups are used to treat cancer because the body produces free radicals due to oxidative reactions and other stressors. While the adulsa leaf extract serves as natural expectorant, the pineapple extract gives the orange peel syrup flavor. Alcohol and sugar are used as preservatives. Four formulations (labeled F1, F2, F3, and F4) were created with varying final volume proportions of syrup, alcohol, and sugar. Each formulation was created using parameters such as density, specific gravity, pH, and organoleptic qualities. The results showed that the herbal syrup formulation (F2) is more stable and elegant than the other formulations.
