Abstract

People love chocolate more than any other food, yet they detest medications. Therefore, the goal of this study was to create medicated chocolate, or chocolate that contains drugs, in order to prevent different types of disorders. The chocolate base used in this experiment is made using pharmaceutical-grade sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa powder, and icing sugar. Formulating and assessing nutrient-dense chocolate and supplements with anti-oxidant, anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-diabetic, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties was the primary goal of this study. In addition to showing satisfactory herbal drug release, drug content determination, physical stability, and pH and blooming test results, the manufactured herbal chocolate formulation was evaluated for overall look.
