Abstract:
Cyclea burmanni, (kesi pissan) has a unique expectorant property.
The jelly produced out of crushed fresh leaves has some obnoxious color
properties and therefore, it is not popular. The study aims to formulate a
commercially acceptable herbal jelly out of Cyclea leaves. Mature unripe
Cyclea leaves were put under sun for two days and ground. Then it stored in
refrigerated condition for the later usages. For the purification 4 methods were
tested to select best one. Color, odor, texture and overall appearance show no
significant differences between commercial jelly and Cyclea jelly. The overall
quality of Cyclea burmanni jelly is acceptable as commercially graded jelly
crystal.
