This product is formulated as an antidiabetic functional food to support blood sugar management. It uses bioactives from durian belanda leaves, mainly rutin, stabilized in a natural deep eutectic solvent forming a supramolecular network that protects antioxidant activity and enhances stability. The network is embedded in a low methoxyl pectin gel crosslinked with calcium lactate, enabling controlled release. Inulin improves texture and provides prebiotic benefits. With a low sugar, clean label formulation, this product offers a convenient, science-based, and sustainable solution, combining novel food technology with natural antidiabetic nutrition for healthier lifestyles.
