Studies have shown that jambolan [Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels], a tropical fruit from the Mirtaceae family, contains a great variety of phytochemical compounds with high antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. This study aimed to determine the centesimal composition and physicochemical characteristics of the pulp and seed of S. cumini (L.) Skeels, as well as the content of total phenolic compounds and the antioxidant, antibacterial, antibiofilm and anti-quorum sensing (QS) activities of the phenolic extracts obtained from the pulp and the seeds of this fruit.
