Chemical profiling of leaf essential oil, Antioxidant potential and Antibacterial activity of Syzygium lanceolatum (Lam.) Wt. & Arn. (Myrtaceae)

Abstract: Introduction: The present study was aimed to analyse the chemical composition, antioxidant potential and antibacterial activity in the leaf essential oil of Syzygium lanceolatum Methods: The essential oil was isolated by hydrodistillation method using a Clevenger type apparatus. The chemical composition of leaf essential oil was analysed by GC-MS. Antioxidant activity was determined by DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging assay. Antibacterial potential was tested against six bacterial strains. Results: GC-MS analy… Show more

“…The Syzygium species of the family Myrtaceae are well known for their aromatic nature. In this study, several species of the family Myrtaceae had a higher yield (0.22-1.54%) compared to that obtained by Rameshkumar et al (2015) and Muthumperumal et al (2016). The leaf essential oil yield was between 0.10-0.33%.…”

“…Alkenes were the major class of compounds, followed by sesquiterpenes. Among them, major compounds identified were phenyl propanal; β‐caryophyllene; α‐humulene; caryophyllene oxide; 2,8‐dimethyl‐7‐methylene‐1,8‐nonadien‐3‐yne; and germacrene D (Benelli et al., 2018 ; Muthumperumal et al., 2016 ). Both methanol and aqueous extracts of S. luehmannii leaves contained major compounds such as 2‐ethyl‐1‐hexanol; 2‐heptyl‐1,3‐dioxolane; 1‐methyloctyl butyrate; several terpenoids (e.g.…”

“…S. luzonense ethanol bark extract exhibited antioxidant activity (Walean et al., 2020 ). S. lanceolatum leaf essential oil exhibited strongest antioxidant activity with 69.97% inhibitory concentration, determined by the DPPH assay (Muthumperumal et al., 2016 ). S. malaccense methanol leaf extract exhibited strong antioxidant activity with 78.73% inhibitory concentration at a dose of 100μg /ml (Savitha et al., 2011 ).…”

“…Furthermore, seeds of S. cumini can be used as a good source of antioxidant and antibacterial (Sharma et al 2017). Oil from the leaves of S. lanceolatum is also reported to have high antioxidant activity (Muthumperuma et al 2016).…”
