IV. CONCLUSION

It can be concluded from the results that the ready to


use health beverage prepared by the addition of whey,
natural sweetener stevia, walnut oil and coffee have shown
lesser effect on the physico-chemical properties. Hence,
development of ready to use health beverage containing
essentials nutrients such as whey protein, zero calorie stevia,
addition of healthy fat such as ω-3 fatty acids rich walnut oil
and coffee as an antioxidant and flavour enhancer can act as
an interesting opportunity to manufacture low calorie health
beverage that will be considered satisfactory by consumers.
