This research endeavour aims at addressing Total Quality Management techniques to a Novel Nutraceutical Product from Carica papaya, commonly known as papaya. This fruit has been chosen as the focal point of the research as it is a locally grown, accessible and native dietary inclusion in the Indian diet. The proximate principles include a large variety of secondary metabolites with proven nutraceutical benefits to health and Wellness. Papaya has antioxidant, antihelminthic, antimicrobial activities and anticarcinogenic properties which emphatically enhance the cardiovascular profile, negate hypersensitivity, improve digestion, boost overall immunity and help to maintain an optimised Biochemical profile of all subjects from Paediatric to Geriatric Significantly, most of the fruit is edible and has generated research interest and focus for time immemorial. However, the seeds have been understated and quite often discarded as non-edible and a waste product. The seeds of Papaya are beneficial for overall health and morphologically they are small, round, black coloured and have a loud, pungent flavour resembling black pepper in its texture and taste. Our work encompasses various areas of its biochemical and Nutraceutical profile, but the present study was undertaken with the aim of developing a nutritionally enriched product with incorporation of Papaya seeds and the oil obtained from it. Gastro-free churan balls were prepared using papaya seed as a main ingredient and blending it with other Functional Food components to enhance the overall health benefits. This was to present the Gastro Churan balls as a composite health supplement. Further, nutritional and shelf life study were also conducted in which it was seen that the product is nutritionally rich with diverse nutrients, including a significant of fibre. The shelf life study was performed and it was observed that the total plate count was minimal in first few weeks, with gradual increase in later weeks.
