RELATED PATENT APPLICATION(S)
This application claims the priority to and benefit of Indian Patent Application No. 201841040967 filed on January 30, 2019; the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention pertains to the field of nutritionally enriched beverages. More particularly, the invention relates to enriched water formulations comprising herbal extracts, vitamin D and essential oils.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
High paced lifestyles of people have led to a major shift in beverage consumption habits. People are increasingly dependent upon packaged beverages, which are not only nutritionally poor but contains free sugars and unhealthy preservatives.
Regular consumption of such sweetened beverages is associated with unhealthy dietary nutrient profiles which leads to several diet-related diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and other chronic diseases.
In view of the disadvantages of sweetened beverages, water remains the best beverage choice for replenishing the body fluids.
However, modem packaged drinking water is subjected to several treatments such as reverse osmosis and distillation to remove contaminants and pathogens. Though processes like reverse osmosis and distillation remove contaminants and pathogens, these processes also remove all dissolved solids from water, including critical micronutrients and minerals necessary for important bodily functions.
The inventors have identified the above challenges and have addressed the same by developing a nutritionally enriched water formulation composition comprising herbal extracts, vitamin D3 and essential oils, having an enhanced shelf life. The invention would cater to the beverage preference for packaged drinking water while supplying daily requirements of essential micronutrients and nutritional supplements for maintaining a balanced nutritional profile.
Packaged sweetened beverages, as well as packaged drinking water, cannot supply recommended requirements of essential micronutrients and nutritional supplements. So, there is a need for packaged drinking water having an enhanced nutritional profile and enhanced shelf life.

Vitamin D3
Vitamin D is a fat soluble and its major functions are the increase of intestinal absorption of calcium and promotion of normal bone formation and mineralization. Vitamin D has evidenced that it has great importance and is linked with a wide range of diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, rickets, osteoporosis, osteomalacia and secondary hyperparathyroidism and cancer. Vitamin D cannot be directly dispersed into an aqueous solution. Instead, it needs to be combined into an appropriate colloidal system prior to dispersion. In order to explore for targeting purpose and also to improve Vitamin D bioavailability it is necessary to review the carrier systems to perform a sustainable release.
Encapsulation method is used as a preferred process to capture active agents, i.e. vitamins, into a carrier material, as a way to improve and protect bioactive molecules for further delivery. The advantages of encapsulating drugs in nanocarriers comprise an increase in the dissolution rate of hydrophobic or drugs with poor solubility.

Vitamin D nanogels were prepared according to a procedure described in Indian Patent Application No. 201841027257 entitled“A novel aqueous composition with water-insoluble vitamins”.
Briefly, a reaction mixture comprising agar-agar, poly(acrylamidoglycolic) acid, methylene bisacrylamide and vitamin D was prepared. For preparing the reaction mixture, 1 gm of agar- agar was dissolved in 100 mL water by heating to obtain a homogenous mixture. 1.5 gm poly(acrylamidoglycolic) acid was added to the reaction mixture. In another setup, 1.5 gm pectin was used instead of poly(acrylamidoglycolic) acid. Thereafter, 200 mg methylene bisacrylamide was added as a crosslinker to the reaction mixture. 200 mg of cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) dissolved in 1 mL acetone-water mixture (80:20) was added. 20 mg potassium persulphate was added as an initiator for the polymerization reaction.
The reaction mixture was transferred to a three-necked round bottom flask equipped with a reflux condenser and a nitrogen inlet containing 10 mL sodium dodecyl solution at a concentration of 0.5 wt%. The mixture was bubbled with nitrogen gas for 30 min, heated to 80°C, and stirred well at a rotation speed of 1000 rpm for 5 hrs. 2 mL glutaraldehyde at a concentration of 1 wt% was added to the reaction mixture as an amine -reactive homobifunctional crosslinker and stirred for a period of 4 hrs.
