Adsorption of crystal violet (CV) in aqueous solution on commercial activated carbon (CAC) and activated carbon obtained from Syzygium cumini seed (SCSC) have been studied comparatively. The effect of various experimental parameters has been investigated using a batch adsorption technique to obtain information on treating effluents from the dye industry. The extent of dye removal increased with...

The antioxidant activity of Syzygium cumini leaf extracts was investigated using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical-scavenging and ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. The methanolic extract and its four water, ethyl acetate, chloroform, and n-hexane fractions were prepared and subjected to antioxidant evaluation. The results showed that the ethyl acetate fraction...

Syzygium cumini (Myrtaceae) is a worldwide medicinal plant traditionally used in herbal medicines due to its vaunted properties against cardiometabolic disorders, which include: antihyperglycemic, hypolipemiant, antiinflammatory, cardioprotective, and antioxidant activities. These properties have been attributed to the presence of bioactive compounds such as phenols, flavonoids, and tannins in ...

The antimicrobial activity of silver nanoparticles with the clinically important microbes is a major area of research in the field of nanobiotechnology. Syzgium cumini (L.) is used as medicinal plant for anti-diabetic property. The leaves and bark are used for controlling blood pressure and gingivitis. In this present study, we have synthesized silver nanoparticles using Syzygium cumini leaf ex...

Aqueous-leaf extract of Syzygium cumini and Bauhinia forficata are traditionally used in the treatment of diabetes and cancer, especially in South America, Africa, and Asia. In this study, we analyzed the effects of these extracts on oxidative and mitochondrial parameters in vitro, as well as their protective activities against toxic agents. Phytochemical screenings of the extracts were carried...

Dental caries is a common disease that results in tooth loss or cavitations. Medicines available in market though effectively treat dental caries but not without imparting the harmful effects. Medicinal plants have proven to be an effective and safe alternative to synthetic medicines. In vitro antibacterial activity of leaves of Syzygium cumini was studied against Streptococcus viridans, Strept...

A simple and accurate HPTLC method has been developed for quantification of Syzygium Jambolanum and finger printing of the in-housed mother tincture considered here to be a standard with that of different marketed samples available from manufacturers of homoeopathic medicines in India. This HPTLC method was quantitatively evaluated in terms of stability, repeatability, accuracy and calibration ...

BACKGROUND The medicinally important phytochemicals present in Syzygium cumini seeds probably accounts for its wide use in traditional systems of medicines in India, like Ayurveda, Unani, and Siddha. AIM The aim of the study was to determine the antioxidant potential of three different geographical variants of S. cumini seeds and to compare the phenolic profiling to know the effect of geograp...
