In vitro analysis reveals antioxidant and antibacterial effects of black plum extract, indicating its medicinal importance.
Black plum (Syzygium cumini) is a prominent tropical tree cultivated extensively for its fruit. Black plum has a long history of medicinal use across various countries. Black plum is classified under ethnomedicine. It holds significant importance in the field of medicine. The presence of caryophyllene oxide indicates that the plant exhibits cerebral effects, as evidenced by its depressant impact on CN3. Examples of antioxidants include carotenoids, vitamins, phenols, flavonoids, dietary glutathione, and endogenous metabolites. Various phytochemical analysis methods were employed to evaluate the composition of alkaloids, proteins, phenolic compounds, flavonols, and saccharides, along with their antioxidant potential. The DPPH test, a free radical scavenging assay, was employed to measure antioxidant activity.
