As a source of alternative medicines, plant derived drugs are of great potential and can be used to cure various health related ailments.Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels is commonly known as Jamun.Jamun seed powder is a very well known antidiabetic agent.Keeping in view the above concerns, the investigation of this plant aims to assess the phytochemical and antioxidant content of the ethyl acetate extract of locally available S. cumini seed samples.Seed samples were collected and moisture content was estimated.Various chemicals and phytonutrients like alkaloids, tannins, minerals, crude protein, crude fibre, flavonoids and total phenolics were estimated in shade dried samples.The total phenolic and flavanoid content were 12.05 mg GAE/g and 4.86 mg CE/g, respectively.The antioxidant activity of S. cumini seed extract was investigated using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging assay and total antioxidant capacity using phospho-molybdenum assay.The results showed that ethyl acetate extract of Jamun seed had stronger antioxidant activity.
