Abstract
Annona muricata is a medicinal plant it contain high level of alkaloid, Isoquinone, arporphine and protoberberine. Originating in the Caribbean and Central America, A. muricata is currently commonly cultivated in several regions with tropical and subtropical temperatures all over the world. In this study blended chammanthi and sambar powder, Annona muricata leaves were used. Vitamin C, an antioxidant with a reputation for strengthening the immune system, is abundant in soursop. Additionally, it encourages the breakdown of free radicals, which can shield our skin and cells from oxidative harm from the environment. Numerous antioxidants, including as phytosterols, tannins, and flavonoids, may be found in soursop (both the fruit and the leaves). Our entire health is influenced by antioxidants, which may also assist to prevent a number of diseases. The purpose of this research was to examine the nutritional composition, organoleptic characteristics, and storage quality that contained in A. murricata leaf powder. The freshly harvested leaves underwent 5-7 days of washing and sun drying. The ratio of A. murricata incorporated chammanthi powder and sambar powder were in the ratio 2:4:6 (AMCP1, AMCP2, AMCP3), (AMSP1,AMPS2,AMPS3) respectively. Twenty panels of semi-trained judges used a five-point rating system to assess the sensory input in terms of apperance, taste, texture, flavour, colour and overall acceptability. The outcomes showed that customers found the A. murricata included items to be very satisfactory. The high antioxidant content that lowers cancer risk and aids in immune strengthening.
