Abstract
. Molecular docking showed that a variety of compounds found in pulp and seed extracts of jambolan, particularly chlorogenic acid and dihydroquercetin, potentially bind CviR protein and may interfere with QS. Our results indicate that pulp and seed of jambolan are good sources of antibacterial, antibiofilm, and anti-QS compounds that can be used in the development of natural preservatives and for application in antibacterial active films.
