Chutney is widely used for its high nutritional values. It is a thick, jam like mixtures are made from different kinds of vegetables and fruits. Preparation of good vegetable chutney mainly depends on seasonal vegetables occurring in a year. Medicinal plants can also be used to make chutney. However, the nutritional values as well as nutrient contents of chutney are less examined. Therefore, the present study was conducted to develop a convenient chutney mix of culantro (Eryngium foetidum) a medicinal herb available at two geographical regions in Guwahati and Manipur, north east India. The study aims to analyse nutrient compositions of culantro chutney mix and the overall acceptability with shelf life stability. Assessment of moisture content of the dry chutney of culantro was also performed. The phytochemical screening was also performed to screen some phytochemicals and tannin, flavonoids, phenol, flavonoids and alkaloids were found to be present. DPPH free scavenging activity was investigated on leave methanolic extract of Eryngium foetidum. Further, leave phenolic content of the plant was also conducted. The self-life and the sensory scores of the formulated chutney mix did not change much in terms of all the sensory attributes during month (30 days) of storage. Based on the chemical properties, Eryngium foetidum can be a good source for making chutney as well as medicine for treatment of many diseases.
