 ABSTRACT

Nutraceutical foods have received specific interest because of their presumed safety and potential nutritional and medicinal effect. Hypertension is associated with heart problems, however, supplementation of Terminalia arjuna and Ocimum sanctum (Tulsi) as a neutraceutical plays a significant role in preventing the formation of free radical due to their antioxidant activity. In the present research, we have proposed the use of unique combination of Terminalia arjuna and Ocimum sanctum   can significantly induced antioxidant activity. We developed first time novel neutraceutical chocolate that was tested through sensory analysis such as subjective and objective (Moisture, ash, reducing sugar, fat, and protein % analysis according to AOAC method). It has been also proved in vivo 15 days experiment that neutraceutical chocolate was non toxic and significantly purified blood.

Key words: Tulsi, Sugar, Fat, Protein, Antioxidant
