Abstract
The mango (Mangifera indica L.) seeds are becoming a promising source of phytochemicals with important biological activities. Phytochemical screening and bioactive compounds identification in mango seed extracts were done in this study. Seed kernels were collected, dried, ground and extracts were prepared with organic solvents and analysed for major secondary metabolites. The screening showed the presence of Alkaloids, Saponins, Glycosides, Carbohydrates and sugars, Tannins, Flavonoids. Steroids, Amino Acid, Protein and Phenolic compounds. High levels of phenolic and flavonoid contents proved high antioxidant potential and can be utilised in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and functional food industries. In this context, mango seeds are considered as a cheap and sustainable source of valuable bioactive compounds that are often discarded as waste. Further studies on purification and biological evaluation are required to produce new therapeutic agents and products.
