“…In contrast to other ANR proteins converting perlargonidin into (−)-epi-afzelechin and/or (−)-afzelechin, MiANRs does not use perlargonidin as substrate. It supports the fact that PA in mango is mainly composed of catechin and epicatechin [ 34 , 61 ].…”

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is abundant in proanthocyanidins (PAs) that are important for human health and plant response to abiotic stresses. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in PA biosynthesis still need to be elucidated. Anthocyanidin reductase (ANR) catalyzes a key step in PA biosynthesis. In this study, three ANR cDNAs (MiANR1-1,1-2,1-3) were isolated from mango, and expressed in Escherichia coli. In vitro enzyme assay showed MiANR proteins convert cyanidin to their corresponding flavan-3-ols, such as (−)-catechin and (−)-epicatechin. Despite high amino acid similarity, the recombinant ANR proteins exhibited differences in enzyme kinetics and cosubstrate preference. MiANR1-2 and MiANR1-3 have the same optimum pH of 4.0 in citrate buffer, while the optimum pH for MiANR1-1 is pH 3.0 in phosphate buffer. MiANR1-1 does not use either NADPH or NADH as co-substrate while MiANR1-2/1-3 use only NADPH as co-substrate. MiANR1-2 has the highest Km and Vmax for cyanidin, followed by MiANR1-3 and MiANR1-1. The overexpression of MiANRs in ban mutant reconstructed the biosynthetic pathway of PAs in the seed coat. These data demonstrate MiANRs can form the ANR pathway, leading to the formation of two types of isomeric flavan-3-ols and PAs in mango.

“…Mangifera indica L. (Anacardiaceae) called “Mango”, “ Mangoro ” (Yoruba) is a perennial tree prevalent in rural and semi-urban parts of Nigeria. It is one of the vital tropical plants marketed in the world [ 16 ]. It is grown largely in several parts of Africa, particularly in the western parts of Nigeria, where it is valued for its edible fruits.…”

Inhibitory Effects of Solvent-Partitioned Fractions of Two Nigerian Herbs (Spondias mombin Linn. and Mangifera indica L.) on α-Amylase and α-Glucosidase

Therapies directed towards controlling hyperglycemia, the hallmark of type-2 diabetes mellitus, go a long way in managing diabetes and its related complications. Reducing glucose level through the inhibition of the relevant carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes is one among many routes in the management of diabetes. This study investigates the in vitro enzyme inhibitory and antioxidant properties of solvent-partitioned fractions of Spondias mombin and Mangifera indica leaves; which are used extensively in the treatment of diabetic patients locally. The leaves of S. mombin and M. indica were extracted with methanol and fractionated to obtain n-hexane (HF), ethyl acetate (EAF), n-butanol (BF), and aqueous (AF) fractions successively. The α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities of fractions of S. mombin and M. indica leaves were investigated while the antioxidant activity of each fraction was analyzed using iron chelating and ABTS (2,2’-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline)-6-sulphonic acid) radical scavenging assay. Our findings indicated that the ethyl acetate fraction of M. indica leaves contained a considerably higher (p < 0.05) amount of total phenolic, flavonoids, metal ion, and ABTS radical scavenging activity than the ethyl acetate fractions of S. mombin. Furthermore, the ethyl acetate fraction of M. indica had a considerably higher (p < 0.05) inhibitory effect on α-glucosidase (IC50 = 25.11 ± 0.01 μg mL−1), and α-amylase (IC50 = 24.04 ± 0.12 μg mL−1) activities than the S. mombin fraction. Hence, the inhibitory activities of S. mombin and M. indica leaves suggest that they are a potential source of orally active antidiabetic agents and could be employed to formulate new plant-based pharmaceutical and nutraceutical drugs to improve human health.

“…For example, in the case of mango leaf, there were extensive studies of it benefits and practices. Mango leaf can be extracted and had varied of medicinal applications [13]. It can also be used as supplement of animal feedstuff, compost, one of material in silver-nanoparticle synthesis, and biosorbent of toxic elements [9,[14][15][16]].…”

Mangifera indica var Harumanis is one of the exotic mango cultivated in Perlis, Malaysia. It economic importance increased in recent years due to the popularity attributed to it excellent taste, sweet and aromatic fragrance. Supply of Harumanis cannot meet market demand, mainly due to the difficulty of raising the crops and the short and uncertain harvesting seasons. The cultivation of Harumanis in greenhouse was found to be feasible to mitigate the short coming. However, the cultural practices of high density planting in greenhouse calls for regular pruning to meet the desired canopy. Regular strategic pruning produced pruning waste with potential economic value. This research was done to quantify the by-products produced by pruning from three 1/2 acre greenhouses, under the ecological and climatic of Perlis. The fresh biomass of waste collected during primary, secondary and tertiary pruning were determined. The pruning waste produced was 0.676kg per plant equivalent to 146.4kg per greenhouse during primary and secondary pruning. Estimation of fresh biomass waste produced during floral induction determine by regression was 816 kg per greenhouse with the expected total of 40.8 ton from 50 greenhouses. In view of the fact that the mango plant management practice was from the clean agricultural, the waste can be potentially utilized for green manufacturing. This was the first attempted to quantify pruning waste in mango cultivation before further utilization of pruning waste.
