Randomized trial evaluates antioxidant potential of leaf and bark extracts of S. cumini, suggesting its bioactive properties.

This study aims to explore the phytochemical composition and antioxidant capabilities of Syzygium cumini extracts.
Compared aqueous and 70% ethanolic extracts from bark and leaves.
Evaluated total phenolic content, DPPH, and H2O2 scavenging activity.
Characterized extracts using FTIR, XRD, and TGA.
The 70% ethanolic bark extract showed the highest total phenolic content and 54.3% H2O2 scavenging activity.
DPPH scavenging activity increased with concentration, with ethanolic extracts showing superior antioxidant effects.
FTIR identified functional groups characteristic of polyphenols, while XRD indicated amorphous extract nature.

Bhadauria et al. (2026) studied this question.
