Abstract Development of innovative functional confectionery products has gained significant attention due to increasing consumer demand for unique flavors and added health benefits. This study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of pineapple–black salt jelly, a novel product combining the natural sweetness and nutritional properties of pineapple with the distinctive flavor and digestive benefits of black salt. Pineapple, rich in vitamin C and bromelain enzyme, contributes to improved digestion and antioxidant activity, while black salt enhances taste and supports gastrointestinal health. The jelly was prepared using fruit juice, sweeteners, gelling agents, and controlled acidity to achieve the desired texture, clarity, and shelf stability. Physicochemical parameters such as pH, total soluble solids, and sensory attributes including taste, aroma, color, and overall acceptability were evaluated. The results indicated that the incorporation of black salt provided a unique sweet–salty flavor profile, improving consumer acceptability while maintaining product quality. This study highlights the potential of pineapple–black salt jelly as a functional and cost-effective confectionery product with enhanced sensory appeal and health benefits
