[0036] FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing the various steps involved in the making of the formulation for enhancement of skin radiance, according to an embodiment of the present invention. With respect of FIG. 1, the equipments are cleaned and dried (101). The raw materials are cleaned and weighed (102). A mixture of fruit concentrate is prepared and loaded in a tank (103). A predetermined amount of tender coconut water is added in the tank (104). A mixture of extracts of one or more herbs is prepared and added in the tank (105). A predetermined amount of flavoring agent and coloring agent are added to the tank (106). A predetermined
9

amount of water is added to the tank (107). The contents of the tank are blended and homogenized (108). The contents of the tank are pasteurized at 92°C/30Sec and hot filling is done at 72°C±2°C, followed by bottle capping, cooling and packaging the formulation (109). The formulation is a ready-to-drink beverage liquid. The mix of fruit concentrate is added in an amount of 0.55% to 11% by weight, the tender coconut water is added in an amount of 2% to 40% by weight, the mix of one or more herbs is added in an amount of 0.004% to 4% by weight, the flavouring agent is added in an amount of 0.02% to 2.1% by weight, the black carrot extract (Pink color) as colouring agent is added in an amount of 0.01% to 0.5% by weight, and the water is added in an amount of 20% to 90% by weight. [0037] The mix of fruit concentrate comprises deionized apple juice concentrate, frozen lemon juice concentrate & Cherry berry concentrate. The deionized apple juice concentrate is added in an amount of 0.5 % to 10% by weight, and the frozen lemon juice concentrate is added in an amount of 0.05% to 1% by weight. The cherry berry concentrate is present in an amount of 0.01% to 1% by weight. [0038] The mix of one or more herbs comprises an extract of amla, aloe vera dry powder, an extract of gotu kola, and an extract of curcuma.

[0039] The flavouring agent comprises sweetness modifier, rose flavour, Vettivert oil and plum ginger flavour. The sweetness modifier is added in an amount of 0.01% to 0.1% by weight, the rose flavour is added in an amount of 0.01% to 0.5% by weight, the vettivert oil is added in an amount of 0.0001% to 0.1% by weight, and the plum ginger flavour is added in an amount of 0.0010% to 0.5% by weight.
[0040] In the present invention, coconut water plays a unique role in providing the sweetness to the formulation. The herbs used in the present invention has bitter taste that is not acceptable by the consumers. Hence, in order to avoid the usage of any artificial sweetener and to make the formulation of the present
10

invention completely natural, coconut water is added. Other benefits of using coconut water is that it has less calories and there is no need of any preservatives. Thus, it makes the formulation of the present invention low calorie, naturally sweet and without any preservative which is safe for humans. The coconut water is added is a quantity of 2% to 40% which is unique to provide the optimum sweetness to the formulation.
[0041] Deionized Apple Juice Concentrate is produced by the clarification, filtration, deionization and the evaporation (concentration) of Apple Juice which has already been obtained by processing the fresh, clean, ripe and sound apples through the consecutive stages of washing, sorting, crushing and pressing. Naturally occurring substances which give the acidity, color and the taste (aroma) of apple juice are removed by the deionization process where the natural sugar content of the apple juice is preserved in the final product. Having no color, taste and odour, hence, deionized apple juice concentrate is used as a natural sweetener in the present invention to make the product 100% natural.
[0042] An important aspect is that the drink is without any preservatives. Any drink with herbals has a challenge of achieving a longer shelf life. For this, normal practice would be to add preservatives like ascorbic acid etc. The present invention ensures that there is no preservative starting from Raw material till finished goods, the formulation achieves a pH of between 3 to 4, Pasteurization being done at 88-94°C for time of 10 to 60 seconds & then liquid is being hot filled to achieve longer shelf life even at ambient conditions. Hence no requirement of cold storage/Frozen conditions.
