Eating mangoes: A natural way to heal

Abstract

The bioactive compound profile of fresh fruits, including mango, is influenced by a number of factors, including genotype (cultivar), crop management practices, maturity stage, transport and storage conditions, preharvest sprays, and so on. Although it may not be
possible to screen all genotypes/accessions, the bioactive compound profiles of as many commercially grown, lesser known but potential farmers' varieties, exotic accessions, and promising hybrids as possible must be evaluated so that those with exceptionally high levels of polyphenols, flavonoids, and phenolic acids can be vigorously promoted for export, and are further used in genetic improvement programs. Furthermore, growers must pay close attention to the best crop management, harvesting, and storage
practices developed for mango in order to ensure phytochemical-dense and high-quality fruits.
