Abstract :

 Averrhoa bilimbi, L. (Oxalidaceae), the widely cultivated plant among tropical countries was studied for Transresveratrol and Umbelliferone. The computer aided system PASS (Predication of Activity Spectra for Substances) was used for the analysis of pharmaco–therapeutic potential of various constituents. Numerous potentials of the fruit was revealed by the PASS analysis. The quantification of Trans–resveratrol and Umbelliferone from A. bilimbi fruit using HPLC has resulted in 7 peaks. Of these, two peaks were identified as Trans–resveratrol and Umbelliferone, which was resolved at retention time (Rt) 35.02 and 18.26 respectively. More in vitro and in vivo studies together with epidemiological and clinical–case control studies are needed before recommending A. bilimbi fruits as functional food.
