Syzygium malaccense (L.), Myrtaceae, Myricetin, Polyphenol, anthocyaninAbstract
Syzygium malaccense (L.)(Pomerac) belonging to the Myrtaceae family is widely grown in many countries. This plant spp. is frequently utilised in traditional medicine. The Myrtaceae family plant Syzygium malaccense (L.), also known as the "Malay apple," is grown extensively around the world. Because of its abundance in phytochemicals such as polyphenols, particularly anthocyanins, polysaccharides, and organic acids, this plant is frequently utilised in traditional medicine and has significant potential for application in contemporary therapeutics. This study's main objective is to review and compile all the information that is currently known about the bark and leaves of Syzygium malaccense (L.), with an emphasis on their nutritional value, bioactive components, and potential medical applications. Using the terms of Syzygium malaccense, chemical components and medicinal uses of Pomerac. Further searched were journals, books, and conference proceedings.The majority of studies backed up and supplied evidence for the claim that Syzygium malaccense (L.) and its active ingredients are crucial in the prevention of chronic and degenerative diseases linked to oxidative stress. Our findings imply that further investigation is necessary to develop a potential method that might balance the pomerac's pharmacological and hazardous effects, and that a standardised fingerprint of Syzygium malaccense (L.)is necessary for quality control on a global scale.
