The ratios of citric acid and sodium bicarbonate as treatments were 3:5, 4:5, and 5:5. The results showed that the formulation with an acid:base ratio (5:5) had the potential to be developed and refined before being commercialized. This formulation was chosen because it has the sensory profile with a sweet, slightly sour and fresh taste profile, the lowest Moringa leaf aroma, the color of the clear solution was slightly green and slightly orange.
