Abstract
The essential oil from fruit of Syzygium cumini (Myrtaceae), endemic to Indonesia, was investigated by using GC and GC-MS. Forty-six components represented of the total oil were identified. The major components of the essential oil were 1,2,3-Propanetriol (20.32%), octadecanoic acid (16.13%), glycerine-1-oleate-3-palmitate (12.00%), 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid (6.49%) and Heptadecyl acetate (5.52%). The bio-activity of the major components of essential oil of S. cumini was investigated by the PASS-online bio-activity prediction software. The major components of essential oil of S. cumini exhibited antibacterial activities. The antibacterial activity present in the essential oil of S. cumini has the potential to be used as an anti-meningitis bacterial. Further research is needed to test the definitive antibacterial ability of the compounds contained in S. cumini essential oil…
