Diabetes is a growing public health concern in India, necessitating novel and accessible approaches to manage the condition effectively. Curry leaves (Murray koenigii), traditionally used in Indian cuisine, potential benefits were noticed in managing diabetes because of their anti-diabetic, antioxidant, and their anti-inflammatory properties. Scientific studies suggest that bioactive compounds found in curry leaves, like alkaloids and flavonoids, may help lowering blood sugar levels and improving overall metabolic health. Purpose: This study developed curry leaf bites, a nutritious and flavorful snack harnessing the health benefits of curry leaves, intended to offer a functional food solution for individuals at risk of or living with diabetes.Method: The snack was formulated into three variations and a panel of faculty members from St. Joseph’s Degree & PG College evaluated the product using a “nine-point hedonic rating scale” to assess sensory attributes such as appearance, taste, aroma, texture and overall acceptability. The AOAC and spectrophotometry methods were used to analyze comprehensive nutritional content, including essential nutrients and mineral composition. Statistical analysis was performed with the help of ANOVA and t-test, enabled comparisons between the formulations. Result:Sample A was identified as the most accepted variant, with optimal flavor and texture profiles. Per 100g, it contained 3.113 mg of iron and 574.8 mg of calcium, reflecting significant nutritional benefits. Statistical evaluation confirmed the panel’s preference for sample A, with significant differences observed in sensory parameters. The product also demonstrated stable shelf-life under refrigerated storage conditions. Further research is needed to determine the effect of curry leaf bites on blood glucose levels.
