Syzygium cumini (Linn.) Skeels (family myrtaceae), commonly known as jamun, is a large evergreen beautiful tree of Indian subcontinent. The seed of Syzygium cumini is considered as an antidiabetic in folklore medicine. In present investigation, the detailed microscopic evaluation and physicochemical analysis of Syzygium cumini seed is carried out to lay down the standards which could be useful in future experimental studies. Fresh seed samples and dried power of the seed were studied macroscopically and microscopically. Preliminary phytochemical investigation and quantitative estimation of flavonoid content was performed. Other WHO recommended parameters for standardizations were also performed. The microscopic and physiochemical analysis of the Syzygium cumini seed is useful in standardization for quality, purity and sample identification.
