Phalsa is a tropical and subtropical fruit that is high in nutritional value and is primarily cultivated for its fruit. As, Phalsa fruit contain high number of vitamins (A and C), minerals (calcium, phosphorus, and iron), and fibre while being low in calories and fat. The fruit and seed of Phalsa contain 18 amino acids, the majority of which are aspartic acid, glutamic acid, and leucine. Based on in vivo and in vitro studies phalsa plant possess high antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antimicrobial, antidiabetic properties. However, antioxidant properties are found in the form of vitamin C, total phenolic, anthocyanin, flavonoid, and tannin. The phalsa plant's fruits and leaves have substantial anticancer action against cancer cell lines. Because of the presence of a broad range of physiologically active chemicals, investigations on phalsa plants revealed that some plant parts have radioprotective qualities. The anti-glycosidase and anti-amylase activity of aqueous fresh fruit extract was shown to be substantial. The phalsa plant contains an abundance of biologically active chemicals, allowing it to control microorganisms through a variety of processes. Phalsa methanolic leaf extract was revealed to have antimalarial and antiemetic effects. The hot and cold polysaccharide fractions extracted from the phalsa plant have potent hepatoprotective and therapeutic properties. Therefore, this review is based on the nutritional, bioactive, phytochemicals, and potential pharmacological uses of phalsa. The potential health benefits and economic potential of the phalsa berry's phytochemicals are promising areas for further study.
紫穗醋栗是一种热带和亚热带水果，营养价值很高，主要因其果实而被种植。紫穗醋栗果实含有大量维生素（A和C）、矿物质（钙、磷和铁）以及纤维，同时热量和脂肪含量较低。紫穗醋栗的果实和种子含有18种氨基酸，其中大部分是天冬氨酸、谷氨酸和亮氨酸。基于体内和体外研究，紫穗醋栗植物具有高抗氧化、抗炎、抗癌、抗菌、抗糖尿病特性。然而，抗氧化特性以维生素C、总酚、花青素、类黄酮和单宁的形式存在。紫穗醋栗植物的果实和叶子对癌细胞系具有显著的抗癌作用。由于存在多种生理活性化学物质，对紫穗醋栗植物的研究表明，其某些植物部分具有辐射防护特性。新鲜水果水提取物的抗糖苷酶和抗淀粉酶活性显著。紫穗醋栗植物含有丰富的生物活性化学物质，使其能够通过多种过程控制微生物。紫穗醋栗叶甲醇提取物具有抗疟疾和止吐作用。从紫穗醋栗植物中提取的热多糖和冷多糖部分具有强大的肝脏保护和治疗特性。因此，本综述基于紫穗醋栗的营养、生物活性、植物化学物质和潜在药理用途。紫穗醋栗浆果植物化学物质的潜在健康益处和经济潜力是有待进一步研究的有前景的领域。
