摘要：Syzgium cumini (Indian jamun) is a fruit consumed by all sections of people in India. It is cheaply available and has certain medicinal properties too. The study was aimed at enchancement of its active constituents without altering its pharmacological properties. Ultra-violent (UV) irradiation is used as it provides the enhancement and sterilization at the same time. The test batch having been irradiated with UV showed higher proportion of active constituents than the control batch which was not irradiated. The control and test samples when subjected to gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) analysis showed distinct variation in a number of characteristic peaks confirming the physical results that were obtained. Charateristic peaks obtained for the test sample, 11.31 and 95.43, demonstrate the demarcation required. The physical characteristics of the test sample were intact with organoleptic properties in line with the control sample. UV irradiation method proves to be an easy, inexpensive and beneficial way to enhance the active constituents of Syzgium cumini(Indian jamun). This method when implemented in large scale will largely benefit the farmer, trader and the consumer.
