Abstract

Artikel ini merangkum komposisi fitokimia, kemotaksonomi, dan aktivitas biologis tiga spesies utama jambu air, yaitu Syzygium aqueum, Syzygium malaccense, dan Syzygium samarangense, berdasarkan publikasi ilmiah yang tervalidasi. Kajian menunjukkan bahwa ketiga spesies tersebut kaya akan flavonoid, senyawa fenolik, antosianin, terpenoid, kalkon, minyak volatil, dan sterol. Flavonoid dan turunan fenolik merupakan kelompok metabolit yang paling dominan, sedangkan α-pinene, β-selinene, α-terpineol, dan cyanidin-3-glucoside merupakan senyawa yang paling konsisten dilaporkan pada lebih dari satu spesies dan berpotensi digunakan sebagai penanda kemotaksonomi. Berbagai studi juga menunjukkan aktivitas antioksidan, antidiabetes, antimikroba, antiinflamasi, hepatoprotektif, sitotoksik, dan imunomodulator yang berkaitan dengan kandungan polifenol dan terpenoidnya. Secara keseluruhan, genus Syzygium memiliki prospek kuat sebagai sumber senyawa bioaktif untuk pengembangan obat dan produk kesehatan berbasis bahan alam.
