CA have been reported a rich source of phenolics whereas, the phenolics content of GA (gallic acid), SC (scopoletin), RA (rosmarinic acid), and RV (resveratrol) are yet to be reported for the PC-fruit. This study comparatively evaluates the phenolics profile for different parts (seeds and skin) and colors (green and red) of the PC- and CA-fruits using the green solvents of ethanol (ET), acetone (AC), water (HO), and different combinations of these solvents.

Article Synopsis
- Mango fruit is rich in nutrients and health benefits, but its quality and biological effects can vary based on geographical factors.
- A study analyzed all four parts of mango fruit from twelve different regions, using various cell lines to test for cytotoxicity, glucose uptake, antioxidant activity, and enzyme inhibition.
- The seed extracts from certain origins showed promising results in reducing cancer cell viability and enhancing glucose utilization, suggesting that mango seeds could be beneficial in treating various diseases and warranting further research.
