It is rich source of nutrients and used as replacement for wheat and possess medicinal properties hence it has potential to be sold as nutraceutical. Over 130 phyto-compounds especially flavonoides and polypheols are identified in various parts of breadfruit plant. Nutritional compositions include protein, carbohydrate, fat, calcium, phosphorus, K, iron, niacin, thiamine and vitamin C. Keeping above information in consideration nutraceutical product of soft gel capsules for breadfruit powder extract can be prepared and characterize for its marker compounds and antioxidant potential. It can be used as main source of antioxidant and will have application in treatment of oxidative stress caused by diabetes, inflammation, cancer and many such diseases.
