Comparative phytochemical profiling, α-amylase and α- glucosidase inhibitory effects of seed and fruit pulp extracts of Syzygium cumini

A member of the Myrtaceae family, Syzygium cumini Linn., also called Jamun, is also referred to by synonyms, including Myrtus cumini Linn., Eugenia cumini, Eugenia djouant Perr., Eugenia jambolana Lam., and Syzygium jambolana Lam. In India, the "Paras" type is grown in the centre areas, while "Ram Jamun" or "Raja Jamun" is grown in the north. A variety of S. cumini fruit components are used to improve the nutritional value of fermented goods, wines, jellies, and jams. The pharmacological characteristics of S. cumini are influenced by bioactive phytoconstituents such gallic acid, tannins, and polyphenols, which are present in addition to the important elements like vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, antioxidants, and anthocyanins. For many years, black plums have been used as carminatives, diuretics, and remedies for stomach issues, diarrhoea, spleen enlargement, and urine retention. S. cumini has long been administered to women following an abortion and is particularly well-known for its capacity to treat diabetes & dysentery. The polyphenolic compounds found in jamun have potential as therapies for diabetes, cancer, asthma, arthritis, and cardiovascular disease. Its remarkable ethnopharmacological profile has led to several investigations on various plant components, highlighting its antidiabetic properties. The primary Phytochemical Profiling and their inhibitory impact on α-amylase and α-Glucosidase seed and fruit pulp of Syzygium cumini were examined in this study.

Abstract

A member of the Myrtaceae family, Syzygium cumini Linn., also called Jamun, is also referred to by synonyms, including Myrtus cumini Linn., Eugenia cumini, Eugenia djouant Perr., Eugenia jambolana Lam., and Syzygium jambolana Lam. In India, the "Paras" type is grown in the centre areas, while "Ram Jamun" or "Raja Jamun" is grown in the north. A variety of S. cumini fruit components are used to improve the nutritional value of fermented goods, wines, jellies, and jams. The pharmacological characteristics of S. cumini are influenced by bioactive phytoconstituents such gallic acid, tannins, and polyphenols, which are present in addition to the important elements like vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, antioxidants, and anthocyanins. For many years, black plums have been used as carminatives, diuretics, and remedies for stomach issues, diarrhoea, spleen enlargement, and urine retention. S. cumini has long been administered to women following an abortion and is particularly well-known for its capacity to treat diabetes & dysentery. The polyphenolic compounds found in jamun have potential as therapies for diabetes, cancer, asthma, arthritis, and cardiovascular disease. Its remarkable ethnopharmacological profile has led to several investigations on various plant components, highlighting its antidiabetic properties. The primary Phytochemical Profiling and their inhibitory impact on α-amylase and α-Glucosidase seed and fruit pulp of Syzygium cumini were examined in this study.
