NGHIÊN CỨU BÀO CHẾ CHẾ PHẨM HỖ TRỢ ĐIỀU TRỊ TÁO BÓN TỪ RONG CÂU CHÂN VỊT (Gracilaria Eucheumoides Harv.)

Abstract

This study focuses on investigating the botanical characteristics and conducting a preliminary analysis of the chemical composition of Gracilaria eucheumoides Harv., while developing a formulation process for a soluble powder product with potential benefits in supporting the treatment of constipation. The results indicate that the yield of dried seaweed powder reached 14.38%, and the material contains key components such as agar, protein, and lipid, highlighting its potential as a natural source of dietary fiber. Based on these findings, an optimal formulation was developed for a 5 g soluble powder sachet consisting of 40% seaweed powder, 6% pandan leaf powder, 27% lactose, and 27% rock sugar. The formulated product exhibited good sensory quality, acceptable taste, and ease of use, contributing to fiber supplementation and supporting the improvement of constipation symptoms. Nevertheless, further studies are required to evaluate the pharmacological effects and product stability to ensure safety and effectiveness before large-scale application.
