A Review Pharmacognostic Description of Grewia asiatica

Abstract

The tropical and subtropical fruit phalasa is primarily cultivated for its nutritious fruit. A low-calorie, high-mineral fruit, phallusa is rich in vitamin A and C and has a plethora of minerals like iron, calcium, and phosphorus. Eleven amino acids are found in phallusa fruit and seed, with leucine, aspartic acid, and glutamic acid making up the majority. The antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties of phalsa plants have been demonstrated in both laboratory and animal research. To the contrary, antioxidant properties are shared by vitamin C, total phenolic, anthocyanin, flavonoid, and tannin. Testing the phalsa plant's fruits and leaves against cancer cell lines revealed strong anticancer potential. Research has demonstrated that several phalsa plant components, thanks to the presence of various physiologically active chemicals, have radioprotective properties. Research has shown that the fresh fruit extract in water has potent anti-glycosidase and anti-amylase capabilities. There are a number of methods in which the phalsa plant regulates microorganisms, thanks to its many physiologically active chemicals. It was shown that the methanolic leaf extract of Phalsa had antiemetic and antimalarial characteristics. The phalsa plant's heat and cold polysaccharide components are highly effective in protecting the liver and treating many medical conditions. The nutritional, bioactive, phytochemical, and possible therapeutic uses of phalsa form the basis of this study. Possible health and economic benefits of the phytochemicals found in phallusa berries have been suggested.
