Mango (Mangifera indica L.) Leaves: Nutritional Composition, Phytochemical Profile, and Health-Promoting Bioactivities

Mangifera indica L. belongs to the family of Anacardiaceae and is an important fruit from South and Southeast Asia. India, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Pakistan, Mexico, Brazil, Bangladesh, Nigeria, and the Philippines are among the top mango producer countries. Leaves of the mango plant have been studied for their health benefits, which are attributed to a plethora of phytochemicals such as mangiferin, followed by phenolic acids, benzophenones, and other antioxidants such as flavonoids, ascorbic acid, carotenoids, and tocopherols. The extracts from mango leaves (MLs) have been studied for their biological activities, including anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-oxidant, anti-microbial, anti-obesity, lipid-lowering, hepato-protection, and anti-diarrheal. In the present review, we have elaborated on the nutritional and phytochemical profile of the MLs. Further, various bioactivities of the ML extracts are also critically discussed. Considering the phytochemical profile and beneficial effects of the MLs, they can be used as a potential ingredient for the development of functional foods and pharmaceutical drugs. However, more detailed clinical trials still needed to be conducted for establishing the actual efficacy of the ML extracts.

“…Carbohydrate metabolism ensures a steady supply of energy to living cells as well as provide intermediates that fuels other biochemical processes such as lipogenesis, amino acid synthesis as well as nucleotide biosynthesis. 16 Dietary fats are not just a source of energy; they also function as insulators, aid absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and are required for growth, immune function and reproduction. However, the intake of high-fat diet has been positively correlated with obesity and the risk of development of cardiovascular disorders.…”

“…5 The high moisture content shown in this study suggest that the plant leaf may be prone to microbial attack during storage resulting in decreased shelf life. 16 The ash content is a reflection of the mineral contents preserved in the plant leaf. Hence, the result indicates that the leaves of A. muricata may contain more of the organic components as seen in its low ash value.…”

Annona muricata (Soursop) is a tropical plant used in folk medicine in the treatment of different diseases and infections. In the present study, we investigated the phytochemical constituents and nutritional composition of Annona muricata leaves. Phytochemical screening was performed on the ethanol leaf extract of A. muricata using standard procedures. Proximate and mineral content of the leaves were also analysed. The result of the phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, carbohydrates, proteins, phytosterols, and saponins while anthraquinones and reducing sugars were absent. The quantitative evaluation showed that the ethanol leaf extract contains a high amount of phenolic compounds such as proanthocyanidins, phenolics, and flavonoids. The leaves of Annona muricata were found to be rich in carbohydrate (27.81%), fat (21.19%), and moisture (21.15%). The total protein (12.69%) was considered to be of moderate value, while the ash (8.67%) and crude fibre (8.50%) were lesser. Minerals such as calcium (72.52 ppm), potassium (49.92 ppm), sodium (30.33 ppm), iron (25.8 ppm), magnesium (18.52 ppm), phosphorus (10.87 ppm) and zinc (2.63 ppm) were also detected. The result of this study shows that the leaves of A. muricata are rich sources of secondary active compounds of possible therapeutic value. It is also a good source of essential and non-essential nutrient required for metabolic processes in the body.

The natural process of fruit ripening is a combination of physiological, biochemical and molecular processes which can be activated or accelerated artificially by using different chemical agents. This study was carried out to examine the effects of three ripening process on the quality of avocado and mango fruits. Freshly unripe mango and avocado fruits were treated with calcium carbide powder, kerosene fumes and ripening in woven polypropylene bags. Calcium carbide treated fruits were stored for 48 hrs and all the samples were fully ripened except avocado fruit. The kerosene fumed fruits were stored for 24 hrs and then exposed to open air for another 24 hrs. Fruits ripened in empty plastic rice got ripened within 4 and 5 days for mango and avocado, respectively. The fruits were then analyzed for their physicochemical properties and sulphide and sulphate distributions using standard methods. The result revealed a decrease in TTA, pH, carbohydrate and vitamin C contents on ripening. On the other hand, moisture and TSS was observed to increase. However, accelerated ripening had no significant (p<0.05) effect on the moisture and vitamin C content of the fruits. Mango samples treated with calcium carbide recorded higher acidity (0.92%) and low pH (3.08) than those treated with kerosene (0.29% and 3.71%, respectively). Sulphide and sulphate distribution of avocado was found to increase after accelerated ripening with kerosene fumes. A decrease for sulphate (outer distribution) and increase for sulphate (inner) and sulphide (outer) was observed for mango fruits. The results also showed that ripening in woven polypropylene had no significant (p<0.05) effect on the TTA of the fruits while pH, moisture and TSS varied significantly (p<0.05) with fruit type. The use of calcium carbide for fruit ripening is not advisable.
