Phytochemical screening, phenolic acid profiling and antioxidant activity analysis of peels from selected mango (Mangifera spp.) genotypes in the Philippines
Peels of thirteen (13) ripe mango genotypes were analyzed for total phenolic, total flavonoid, vitamin C, vitamin A contents, and antioxidant activity. The observation and data collected from this study showed that there was chemical variation in the peels of different mango genotypes that can be a basis for future breeding work. Furthermore, mango peel was can be a good source of phenolic compounds, vitamins and antioxidants which can be utilized as a functional food, and for nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical purposes.
