The results of the present study showed that
mango is a good source of anti-oxidants and phenolic
compounds. It revealed that freeze-drying may be
a good method for processing and preservation of
mango fruits but this technique can noticeably affect
the composition of some antioxidant components
and antioxidant activity of the fruits. Besides this,
the results of the study showed that both fresh green
and ripe mango are good sources of antioxidants,
compared to green freeze dried and ripe freeze dried
mango. Further research on the structural elucidation
of the mango fruits’ individual phenolic compounds
and evaluation of their mechanisms of action and
biological principles using some in-vivo models is
recommended.
