Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common metabolic disorders in India. It is estimated that by the year 2025, there will be 57 million people with diabetes in India. Present study is undertaken to evaluate antidiabetic activity of ethanolic extract of Solanum nigrum seed in experimental rats in two dosages of 250mg and 500mg compared with control and standard glibenclamide drug. After 21 days, ethanolic extract of seeds of Solanum nigrum showed a significant fall in blood sugar level than the standard drug. Further breakfast recipes using Solanum nigrum seed powder was formulated and evaluated organoleptically by 20 semi trained panels. Among the recipes banyard millet was highly acceptable.
