However, prepared ayurvedically, in combination with spices (for example, in a chutney), they help digestion and improve the flavor of food.

Vitamin and Mineral content

  • Vitamins : A, C, E, K, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9
  • Minerals : iron, Copper, calcium, Magnesium Phosphorus, Manganese, potassium, Selenium, zinc
  • The mango peel contains significantly higher levels than pulp of the following minerals: Ca > K > Mg > Na > Fe > Mn > Zn > Cu 
  •              - The presence of vitamin E (205–509 µg/g) in mango peel led to its use in the preparation of skin care products. The concentration of vitamin E is also higher in ripened mango peel than in raw mango peel
  • Mango components can be grouped into macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, lipids, fatty, and organic acids), micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), and phytochemicals (phenolic, polyphenol, pigments, and volatile constituents). Mango fruit also contains structural carbohydrates such as pectins and cellulose. The major amino acids include lysine, leucine, cysteine, valine, arginine, phenylalanine, and methionine. The lipid composition increases during ripening, particularly the omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. The most important pigments of mango fruit include chlorophylls (a and b) and carotenoids. The most important organic acids include malic and citric acids, and they confer the fruit acidity.
  •                    - During development and maturity stages occur important biochemical, physiological, and structural changes affecting mainly the nutritional and phytochemical composition, producing softening, and modifying aroma, flavor, and antioxidant capacity. 
  • Carotenoids present in the mango belong to two main groups: hydrocarbon carotenoids or carotenes (α-, β-, and γ-carotene) and xanthophylls or oxygenated derivatives (auraxanthin, antheraxanthin, neoxanthin, lutein, violaxanthin, cryptoxanthin and zeaxanthin). There are 25 different carotenoids that have been identified in the pulp and peel of mango. Among them, all-trans-β-carotene is the most abundant (around 60% of the total carotenoid content) followed by the all-trans and 9-cis-violaxanthin
  • Mango pulp is a source of a variety of reducing sugars, amino acids, aromatic compounds, and functional compounds, such as pectin, vitam...........................read more
