Physico-chemical characteristics of mature green mango fruit and mint leaves

Abstract

The mature green mango fruits variety Ramkela and mint leaves were evaluated for various physicochemical characteristics. Data show that average fruit weight and yield of pulp of mature green mango fruits were 203.00 g and 62.33 g/kg fruit. Yield of paste of mint leaves was 79.27%. Total soluble solids (TSS), total sugars, reducing sugars and acidity were analyzed to be 8.03 and 2.0%, 2.46 and 0.67%, 0.82 and 0.26% and 1.86 and 0.032%, whereas total carotenoids, total chlorophyll and total phenols were found to be 0.183 and 15.85 mg/100 g, 1.48 and 172.90 mg/100 g and 14.7 and 328.4 mg/100 g, respectively.
