Comparative evaluation of antimutagenicity of commonly consumed fruits and activity-guided identification of bioactive principles from the most potent fruit, Java plum (Syzygium cumini).

Abstract excerpt

Commonly consumed fruits showed remarkable variation in antimutagenicity when assayed by E. coli rifampicin resistance assay, and Java plum (Syzygium cumini) was found to be one of the most potent fruits. Its anthocyanins contributed maximally to the observed antimutagenicity and resolved into three distinct bands in HPTLC. Although these bands displayed similar antioxidant capacity, the band at R(f) 0.22 was the...
