Description
Farhang Awlqadr and co-authors review herbal functional beverages in a 2026 paper. Drinks enriched with herbal extracts are riding a consumer shift toward natural health products. They sit between food and therapy, carrying compounds with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and other claimed benefits.
The review covers how herbs are added to hot and cold drinks, and the processing hurdles that can destroy their active compounds. It discusses packaging tricks that protect those compounds and raise absorption. Taste studies and ways to improve flavor are covered, along with lab and clinical proof for widely used herbs. Safety, doses, drug interactions, and regulatory rules get a critical look. The authors close with future paths such as personal formulas and sustainable sourcing.
