Abstract

The mangos' popularity is on the rise due to its high nutraceutic and pharmaceutical value. The mango is unique because each of its parts—fruit, pulp, peel, seed, leaves, flowers and the bark—are utilizable. Polyphenolic compounds and related bioactivity in the fruit are higher in peel than pulp and highest in mango leaves and stem barks. There are various polyphenols in mango, but Mangiferin, is abundant and bioactive. Synergy among various polyphenols and mocro-elements in mango extracts is responsible for their high bioactivity as compared to pure isolated compounds and explains their use in the management of various degenerative diseases.
