The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention discloses a method for preparing air-fried rice crisp snacks enriched with moringa leaf powder and curry leaves. The formulation integrates rice flour, chickpea flour, flaxseed meal, olive oil, and selected spices to create a nutrient-dense, low-fat snack. The process involves dry-roasting rice flour, forming dough with optimal hydration, and air-frying under controlled conditions to achieve crispness while preserving heat-sensitive nutrients such as vitamin C and polyphenols. Moringa contributes antioxidants and essential vitamins, while curry leaves provide anti-inflammatory compounds, enhancing the functional benefits of the snack. The use of air-frying technology reduces oil consumption, minimizes acrylamide formation, and supports environmental sustainability. Nutritional analysis confirmed high protein, fiber, and antioxidant activity, while sensory evaluation demonstrated strong consumer acceptability. The invention offers a healthier, eco-friendly alternative to conventional fried snacks, addressing hidden hunger and promoting sustainable food innovation."
