These studies suggest that Syzygium samarangense exhibits antioxidant and hepatoprotective activities, particularly through its leaves and polysaccharides, which may ameliorate liver damage.

Wax apple (Syzygium samarangense) is a tropical fruit known for its nutritional and medicinal properties. Recent research has focused on its potential to ameliorate endothelial dysfunction and liver damage, primarily through its antioxidant and hepatoprotective activities.
Antioxidant and Hepatoprotective Activities:
Low Biological Activity of Wax Apple Juice:
Research indicates that while the methanol extract of Syzygium samarangense leaves and isolated polysaccharides from the fruit exhibit strong antioxidant and hepatoprotective activities, the juice of the wax apple itself shows low biological activity. These findings suggest that specific extracts and components of the wax apple have potential therapeutic benefits for liver protection and oxidative stress reduction, although the fruit juice may not be as effective. Further studies are needed to explore these effects in vivo and at clinical levels.
