The terms "nutrient" and "pharmaceuticals" combine to form the phrase nutraceuticals. AAFCO (1996) defines "nutrient" as a feed ingredient in a form and amount that will support an animal's or human's life, and "nutritraceutical" as any non-toxic food ingredient with scientifically demonstrated health benefits, such as illness prevention and treatment. Foods that have a therapeutic impact on people's health are referred to as nutraceuticals. Probiotics and prebiotics, herbal items, food supplements, and medicinal foods intended for illness prevention and treatment are all included. Older adults frequently struggle with appetite loss, which increases their risk of malnutrition. For the elderly, soup-based product formulation and supplementation is an engaging and practical approach to preserve nutritional status. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to use common agricultural commodities to make ready-to-eat (RTE) soup and quick soup powder. This nutraceutical soup is reach with nutritional values and providing more energy to the body.
