        abstract = {Syzygium cumini, commonly known as Jamun or black plum, is a rich source of bioactive compounds, including polyphenols, antioxidants, flavonoids, iron, and vitamin A and C. This tropical evergreen tree belongs to the Myrtaceae family and has been a significant medicinal plant in Indian and other traditional medicines worldwide. Jamun is primarily cultivated in Asian countries such as India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, the Philippines and Indonesia. Usually the fruits, leaves, seeds and bark are all used in ayurvedic medicine. It has been used to treat various diseases and physiological conditions like diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and obesity, making it a promising remedy for managing metabolic syndrome (MS). Jamun provides a lot of benefits owing to its antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and lipid-lowering properties.  This review illustrates mainly chemical compositions and utility of Jamun.},
