Therapeutic study was conducted to know the efficacy of wood apple fruit. Wood apple fruits were analyzed for proximate, minerals and vitamins. Value added products viz., leather, jujubes, candy, juice, sauce and Jaljeera were prepared. Products were evaluated organoleptically and shelf life study was carried out. Nutrients present in wood apple (per 100 g) were 64.63 g of moisture, 6.78 g of protein, 1.38 g of fat, 5.00 g of crude fibre, 20.66 g of carbohydrates, 1.55 g of ash and 122 K.cal of energy. Minerals viz calcium, phosphorous, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, sodium and potassium were found to be 122 mg, 110 mg, 0.38 mg, 0.50 mg, 0.25 mg, 37.85 mg, 0.05 mg and 2.64 mg, respectively. Vitamin C was 5.00 mg per 100g. With the guidance of medical officer, fifteen diabetic subjects were randomly selected from UAS, dispensary, Bengaluru.
