Abstract:

Mango fruit has great economical value worldwide due to their nutritional content. Its numerous important nutrients and other bioactive component are responsible for its functional effects. Phytochemical compounds present in mango fruits can be classified in different macro and micronutrients. Macronutrients include carbohydrates, proteins and lipids (majorly O-3 and O-6 fatty acids). Micronutrients include vitamin A and C, different minerals, coloring pigments (chlorophyll, carotenoids and anthocyanins etc.), different phenolic compounds (phenolic acids and flavonoids) and many other volatile and non-volatile components. Mango fruits and its different nutritional and bioactive components have been proved effective against different communicable diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension and cancer. Health benefits of mango fruits have been studied by many researchers and based upon the findings, health benefits of mangoes were proved by epidemiological studies and other clinical trials. Studies conducted on health benefits of mango suggest that utilization of mango fruit and its byproducts can be used as a part of healthy diet not only as source of caloric requirements but also to reduce the incidence of different health problems.
