Formulation And Evaluation of Herbal Gel of Syzygium cumini of Antioxidant Activity

Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels, commonly known as Jamun or Indian blackberry, is a medicinal plant widely recognized for its diverse pharmacological properties, particularly its antioxidant potential. This project investigates the antioxidant activity of bark extract of Syzygium cumini using standard in vitro method such as Superoxide Dismutase Assay (SOD). The phytochemical screening revealed the presence of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and tannins, which contribute significantly to its antioxidant activity. The results demonstrated that the ethanolic seed extract showed the highest free radical scavenging activity, indicating its potential as a natural antioxidant source. The present study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of an antioxidant herbal gel using Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels, a medicinal plant known for its rich phytochemical profile and potent antioxidant properties. The antioxidant herbal gel demonstrated significant free radical scavenging activity, indicating its potential to protect the skin from oxidative stress and environmental damage. The findings suggest that Syzygium cumini-based herbal gel could be a promising natural alternative for skincare applications and further studies may explore its therapeutic potential in dermatological conditions.
