Mango contains sugar, carbohydrate, dietary fiber, protein, beta-carotene, lutein zeaxanthin, choline, vitamin A, vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamim B3 (niacin), vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), vitamin B6, vitamin B9 (folate), vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, iron, and manganese.
Numerous phytochemicals in mango peel and pulp are triterpene, lupeol.Vimang is an extract of mango branch bark that contains numerous polyphenols.Mango peel pigments include carotenoids such as provitamin A, beta-carotene, lutein, and alpha-carotene, and polyphenols such as quercetin, kaempferol, gallic acid, caffeic acid, catechins, and tannins.The leaves of mango have significant polyphenol content, including xanthonoids, magiferin, and gallic acid.The flavor of mango fruit is constituted by some volatile organic chemicals belonging to terpene, furanone, lactone, and ester classes.Mango oil contains mangiferin and a resinol called mangiferol.The tartaric acid, malic acid, and a trace of citric acid in mango help in maintaining the alkali reserve of the body.A small slice of mango gives 25 percent of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA).
