Antioxidant and antiproliferative activities of mango (Mangifera indica L.) flesh and peel

Evaluation of Mango Byproduct Extracts as Antioxidant against Pb-acetate induced Oxidative Stress and Genotoxicity in Mice

“…Furthermore, the present study indicated that mango extracts showed the protective role against Pb-acetate-induced DNA damage. Previous study indicated that mango peel extract protected cells from DNA damage induced by H 2 O 2 [Kim et al, 2010]. Similar result demonstrated that mangiferin pretreatment signifi cantly reduced the genotoxic and cytotoxic effects induced by CdCl 2 [Viswanadh et al, 2010].…”

“…They have the ability to scavenge free radicals and exhibit antimutagenic, anticarcinogenic, antiglycemic, anticholesterol, anti-infl ammatory and antimicrobial properties [Friedman & Levin, 2009]. Mango peel and seed kernel had remarkable antioxidant activity due to their high content of phenolic compounds [Kim et al, 2010;Ashoush & Gadallah, 2011;Dorta et al, 2012]. The present work revealed that mango extracts possessed a high content of total phenolic compounds.…”

“…The defatted powder of peels and kernel were extracted with ethanol in the ratio of 1:5; thus, 100 g of powdered was soaked overnight in 500 mL of 80%ethanol, the infusion was collected, and the sample was soaked in ethanol two more times. Each infusion was fi ltered and the three fi ltrates were combined and concentrated using a rotary evaporator under reduced pressure [Kim et al, 2010]. The concentrated extracts were lyophilized and kept at -18°C until analysis for antioxidant and biological experiments start.…”

Influence of different extraction conditions on antioxidant properties of soursop peel

“…Ethanol as one of the solvents with intermediate polarity has been used for extraction of phenolic compounds such as fl avanoids, catechols, and tannins from plants materials (Naczk and Shahidi, 2004;Shahidi and Ambigaipalan, 2015;Spigno et al, 2007). For example, ethanol has been used for the extraction of phenolic compounds in mango peels (Kim et al, 2010) and cocoa beans (Othman et al, 2007). This is because ethanolic solvent helped to maximize and enhance the interaction of DPPH radicals with the antioxidants present in the sample.…”

Nutraceutical Potential of Agri-Horticultural Wastes

“…On phytochemical analysis acetone extract of mango peel was found to contain polyphenols, anthocyanins and carotenoids [2]. In another study, the free radical scavenging activities of mango flesh and peel extracts were evaluated by electron spin resonance and it was found that mango peel extract exhibited stronger free radical scavenging ability on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and alkyl radicals than mango flesh extract without any relation to its ripeness [27].…”
