The objective of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical, proximate, vitamins, and minerals composition of jamun (SyzygiumCumini) seeds. The jamun fruit had a dark purple color, whereas the jamun seed was seen to be white to pink in color. The jamun fruit and seed exhibited an oblong form. The dimensions and weight of the jamun fruit were measured to be 32 mm in length, 28.8 mm in breadth, and 18.33 g in weight. The seed, on the other hand, had dimensions of 18.25 mm in length, 11.10 mm in width, and weighed 1.65 g. The chemical composition of jamun seeds was analyzed, including moisture content, crude fat, crude protein, carbohydrate, crude fiber, and ash, which were found to be 54, 1.05, 2.85, 31.63, 7.02, and 1.51 g/100g, respectively. The jamun seed was discovered to contain the following values for vitamin content: vitamin A (3 IU/100g), vitamin B3 (0.092 mg/100g), and vitamin C (0.22 mg/100g). The jamun seed powder included the following amounts of minerals: iron (0.140 mg/100g), calcium (0.651 mg/100g), magnesium (0.010 mg/100g), phosphorous (0.072 mg/100g), potassium (16.07 mg/100g), and zinc (0.009 mg/100g). Therefore, it was determined that these jamun (Syzygium Cumini) seed traditional medicinal plants are a valuable source of nutrients, including protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
