The ethanolic extract of mango peel (EEMP) is a product obtained from mango peel. Mango, or Mangifera indica, is a tropical and subtropical grown fruit popular for its vibrant color, unique taste, and nutrient content.[1] Mango peel is 15-20% of the overall mass of mango fruit.[2]
Phytochemicals and research
Mango peel contains numerous phytochemicals, consisting of more polyphenols than does mango flesh.[3][4] Upon extraction of raw and ripened mango peel, compounds displayed significant antioxidant[5] and antiproliferative activities associated with its total phenolic and flavonoid composition.[6] Extracts having antioxidant properties in vitro were polyphenols, anthocyanins and carotenoids.[6][7][8] EEMP also contains quercetin-3-O-galactoside, mangiferin gallate, isomangiferin gallate, quercetin-3-O-arabinopyranoside, and mangiferin as well as unsaturated fatty acids oleic acid, linoleic acid, and ethyl linoleate according to studies using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.[2]
In other laboratory tests, mango peel extracts produced apoptosis of human cervical malignant HeLa cells.[2] When the same concentration of the extracts were applied to healthy lung fibroblasts, no apoptotic effects were seen.[6] Mango flesh was also tested for the same properties with lower effects shown.[2]
