Development and Fuzzy Logic-Based Optimization of Golden Milk Formulations Using RW-Dried Turmeric Powder: A Study on Shelf Life, Sensory Attributes, and Functional Properties

The storage characteristics of folic acid and NaFeEDTA fortified in a refractance window- dried turmeric powder base and its subsequent application to the formulation of nutrition- ally functionalized golden milk have not been addressed in previous studies. Golden milk is a staple food and ideal matrix for the fortification of important nutrients such as iron and folic acid. With this motivation, the present study assesses refractance window (RW)-dried turmeric powder fortified with folic acid...
