Nowadays the cookies are often used in the breakfast, snacks for controlling the Hunger is within a shorter period of time but this case is not similarly found in the diabetic patients, our formulated fortified herbal and multinutritional biscuit is most beneficial for children's, obeys and in diabetic patients as compared to the number of varieties of marketed cookies that consists of refined Flour and Maida. The aim of this formulated fortified herbal biscuit is that to control and regulate the sugar level if it is more than or less in the patients this formulation containing some of the ingredients having their sugar control properties such as Bael, Jammun seed, Guava leaves, Insulin plant, Moringa leaves, Curry leaves, Coccinia indica, Stevia leaves etc. traditionally and medicinally these herbal medicines are used for glucose lowering mechanism.
Abnormal glucose level in the blood known as diabetes, increase in the glucose up to its normal called Hyperglycemia, whereas decrease in the glucose is called hypoglycemia [1,2]. This is not the communicable type of disease but according to the WHO it is metabolic disorder which leads to cause some of the hormonal unbalancing in humans Langerhans of pancreas responsible to produce Glucagon by alpha cell, insulin by beta cell, somatostatin by delta cell and pancreatic polypeptide by PP cells the insulin is the polypeptide hormone which controls the blood glucose level [3,4]. Multiherbal antidiabetic cookies are combination of various herbs, fruits flour that have powerful impact on insulin secretion. The multiherb cookies contains Ashwagandha, Black gram flour, Coccinia Indica, Curry leaves, Guava leaves, Holy Basil, Insulin plant, Jamun seed, Moringa leaves, Liquorice, Piper batel leaves, Stevia leaves, Wheat flour, Mentha etc.
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) belonging to the family solanaceae having steroidal alkaloids used to treat cognitive health, controls lipid profile and blood glucose level. Also contains flavonoids and antioxidants.
Curry leaves (Murraya koenigii) belonging to family Rutaceain identified for its speciality of aroma and medicinal values along with antioxidant, anticancer, antifungal, antimicrobial and pancreatic lipase inhibitor.

Piper batel leaves (Piper siriboa) It help to improve oral health, along with anti-asthmatic properties and relief from the depression cases its belonging from the family piperaceae [5-8]
Figure 1: Herbal ingredients and their extract
Name of Equipment’s Used: Electronic weighing balance (FHOENIX, Mumbai), Electronic oven (Agaro-21, Aloxin Mumbai).
Method:
Herbal material was selected and air dried according to the specificity and make a powder of this all material, side by side the black gram flour and wheat flour is roasted and mixing it well with all dry ingredients are sieve them by using 200 mesh after that butter and milk is added to make dough and rolled it properly in that fructooligosaccharide as a sweetener due to its Glycaemic index-1 along with Vanilla, basil, mentha used as flavouring agent then make a damp mass for shifting into the mould for appropriate in shape and allow to bake in the Agaro-21 oven the cookies usually baked at the temperature 175°C for 20 min. After cooled it and them pack [9].
RESULTS:
Moisture content:
Detection of amount of water in the sample is called moisture content. 6- cookies are prepared from which 1 is taken out for calculating initial weight, and after air-drying of this same cookie the final weight is calculated [10,11].
Mass of prepared cookies with wet ingredients - Initial weight - 5 gm
Mass of dried cookies Final weight – 0.995
Mass of dish – 3
Formula:
Moisture content = Mass of water in sample - Mass of dried sample X 100
= (5 - 0.995) X 100 / 5-3
= 400.5 / 5.3
= 75.5
The Moisture content was found to be 75.5.
Ash value:
Ash value is important for detecting purity and quantity of total amount of the minerals and thier concentration in formulated samples [12].
Weight of dish with ash - 32.20
Weight of sample - 34.22
= (32.20 – 30.25) / 34.22 X 100
= 1.95 / 0.0569 X 100
= 5.690
Total Ash value of Biscuit is = 5.690 it is not more than 10%. D

Figure 2: Evaluation of Formulation
Identification Test:
A. 2gm of the sample is taken in the clean and dry test tube in that 1-2 ml of Molisch’s reagent is added the violet colouration produce which indicates presence of carbohydrate.
B. 2gm of the sample is taken in the clean and dry test tube in that 1-2 ml of Dragendorff’s reagent is added the orange or red colouration is produce which indicates presence of alkaloids in the sample.
C. 2gm of the sample is taken in the clean and dry test tube in that 1-2 ml of Lead acetate reagent is added the yellow colouration produce which indicates presence of Flavonoids.
D. 2gm of the sample is taken in the clean and dry test tube in that 1-2 ml of Biuret reagent is added the violet/purple colouration produce which indicates presence of Protein [15-18].
Table 3: Physiochemical Parameters
CONCLUSION:
The present study of this Nutraceutical biscuit shows antidiabetic property and this formulated biscuit and their valuable data shows the Carbohydrates proteins fats and some essentials of ingredients which are traditionally known for their antioxidant and antidiabetic property This formulated biscuit has the highest acceptance in order to regulate the actual role in the diabetic patient Here the stevia is a sweetener having more than 250 sweetness as compared to natural sugar.
