Abstract

Syzgium cumini (jamun) has long been used to treat diabetes, gallstones, diarrhoea and other diseases. The majority of the positive effects of Syzgium cumini leaves are attributed to phytochemicals, present in leaves, including gallic acid, tannins, mallic acid, flavonoids, essential oils, jambolin, ellagic acid, jambosine, antimellin, and betulinic acid. Syzgium cumini has medicinal properties, including anticancer, antidiabetic, antifertility, anti-inflammatory, antidiarrheal, antimicrobial, antinociceptive, antioxidant, antiradiation, chemotherapeutic, and gastroprotective. The primary purpose of this article is to provide information about the phytochemical makeup and health benefits of jamun leaves. The phytochemical content and health-promoting properties of Syzgium cumini are identified by using the High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) technique, suggesting that they could be employed as a component in the creation of pharmaceutical medications.
