“…Kumar et al (2017) showed that the phytochemical extract of jamun seeds possess anti-microbial potential over a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The anti-microbial activity of jamun fruit was owed to the presence of compound known as monoterpene aldehydes and other bioactive compounds including flavonoids such as quercetin, isorhamnetin and kaempferol have antimicrobial activity which was confirmed by Das et al (2019) in his study. A more recent study of Monteiro et al (2020) proved that the spasmolytic effect of jamun seed extracts which was hypothesised to be mediated by the secondary metabolites present in the extract including steroids, alkaloids, phenols and flavonoids (flavonols, flavones and xanthones).…”

“…In a study, Das et al (2019) demonstrated that supplementing ethanolic extract of jamun pulp (100 and 200 mg/kg/day) to rats induced with hepatotoxin paracetamol showed significant hepatoprotective potential. Bhowmik et al (2013) believed that jamun may contain prebiotic compounds which would enhance the growth of probiotics and thereby helps to suppress the growth of pathogenic microbes in stomach.…”

Purpose Jamun is an underutilised fruit crop of India whose utilization needs to be considerably increased. Despite its impressive nutritional profile and several health benefits, its cultivation is still very limited. Hence, this study aims to highlight the essential nutrients, health benefits and value-added products of jamun fruit and seed. Design/methodology/approach Major sources of bibliometric information such as Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed and Google Scholar were extensively searched with keywords such as nutritional composition of jamun, bioactive compounds, health benefits and jamun-based food products to obtain a database of 317 papers. Thirty four publications met the criteria for review. Findings Jamun fruit (Syzygium cumini L.) is known for its attractive colour, astringent taste, enormous nutrients and nutraceutical properties; nevertheless, this fruit is seasonal, perishable and underutilised. Furthermore, the fruit is used for the treatment of diabetes and also possess anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity and cardio-protection properties. Investigations were done on the production of value-added food products such as read-to-serve beverages, jam, cookies and cake from jamun due to their several health benefits. The present review was an attempt to provide spotlights on the health benefits and food product applications of jamun fruit and its by-products. Originality/value This review systematically collates evidence from various published sources regarding the nutritional profile, development of food products from jamun and their health benefits. The compiled information will help researchers and professional become aware of the significance of jamun fruit and thereby enhances its processing and applications in food systems.

This review delineates the utility of Jamun, Syzygium cumini in the treatment of diabetes and hyperlipidemia. The has been written by making thorough internet search on google scholar, PubMed, SciFinder, Science direct and many other websites. Diabetes is a common disorder inflicting children and adults equally. Diabetes mellitus is mainly of two types insulin dependent (IDDM-Type I) and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM, Type II). The Type I diabetes is more common in children, whereas the Type II diabetes highly prevalent inflicting adults more. Jamun or Syzygium cumini belongs to family Myrtaceae and bears sweet fruits that are eaten as such or used to prepare juice, jam, and cookies. Jamun is considered as a Hoy tree which grows in India, Bangladesh Ceylon, Myanmar and Pakistan and is used in traditional medicine to treat diabetes. Jamun contains cardiac glycosides, anthraquinones, catechins, alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, steroids, phenols, tannins, and saponins. In Ayurveda, Jamun has been used for the treatment of diabetes since ancient times. Numerous preclinical and clinical investigations have validated the use of Jamun as an effective treatment regimen against diabetes. Jamun inhibits different free radicals and increases phase-I enzymes and reduces lipid peroxidation. It also activates PPARα, PPARγ, and AKT, and alleviates the expression of ACC1, Foxo-1, PGC1α, Scid 1, SREPB1c, endoplasmic reticulum protein retention receptor (KEDL), and GPR98 and causes depletion in activities of glucose 6-phosphataseadenosine deaminase, 5'-nucleotidase, phosphorenolpyruvate carboxykinase, and fatty acid synthase at the molecular level that may be responsible to cure diabetic condition.

The goal of this study is to draw attention to the vital nutrients, health advantages, and potential for encouraging the consumption of jamun fruits (Syzygium cumini L.) and making the most of their useful features to create valuable goods. In the current study, efforts have been made to evaluate the jamun fruit’s physicochemical characteristics and bioactive components. Moreover, ready-to-serve beverages, squash, syrup, and jam, have been prepared, and their quality has been monitored throughout the storage. Jamun fruit had an ovoid or spherical form and was a dark purple tint. The initial analysis of fruits showed 83.59% moisture, 17.56 °Brix, 3.63 pH, 328.50 mg cyd-3-Glu/100 g anthocyanin, 219.21 mg GAE/100 g total phenolics, 91.33 mg QE/100 g total flavonoids, and 91.33% antioxidant activity. High-performance liquid chromatography examination, revealed the existence of three main anthocyanin pigments, delphinidin 3, 5-diglucoside, petunidin 3, 5-diglucoside, and malvidin 3, 5-diglucoside, which were measured at 175.80, 156.50, and 83.12 mg/100 g, respectively. While the main phenolic compounds present were chlorogenic, gallic, caffeic, vanillic, and catechin, with respective concentrations of 14.22, 12.18, 10.33, 6.44, and 4.13 mg/100 g. Total soluble solids, pH, and total sugars increased with the storage of jamun products, but acidity, total phenolic, and anthocyanin contents declined. In conclusion, jamun is a fruit that has promise for the future of producing useful goods. The various jamun fruit-based products met good standards and were sensory-acceptable.
