The succinate oxidation capacities of mitochondria isolated from mango fruits (Mangifera indica L.) stored at 4, 8, 12, and 20 C were investigated during storage. In normally ripening fruits (at 12 and 20 C) the oxidative capacities increased during the first 10 days and then decreased slowly. At lower temperatures (4 and 8 C), the fruits showed chilling injury symptoms, after about 10 days of ...

The ethanolic extract from seed kernels of Thai mango (MSKE) (Mangifera indica L. cv. 'Fahlun') (Anacardiaceae) and its major phenolic principle (pentagalloyl glucopyranose) exhibited dose-dependent inhibitory effects on enzymatic activities of phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)), hyaluronidase and L-amino acid oxidase (LAAO) of Calloselasma rhodostoma (CR) and Naja naja kaouthia (NK)venoms by in vitro...

Objective: To determine the antibacterial activity of Syzigium cumini (Family: Myrtaceae) and Mangifera indica (Family: Anacardiaeceae) seed extracts, alone and in combination with some conventionally used antibiotics, against clinical isolates of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus. Method: The antibacterial activity of ethanolic S. cumini seed extract (SSE) and M...

This study was designed to determine the gastroprotective effect of a Mangifera indica leaf decoction (AD), on different experimental models in rodents. The administration of AD up to a dose of 5 g/kg (p.o.) did not produce any signs or symptoms of toxicity in the treated animals, while significantly decreasing the severity of gastric damage induced by several gastroprotective models. Oral pre-...

ABSTRACT Mango and its wild relatives (Mangifera spp.) are essential for future mango breeding, including preservation programs, because they provide many beneficial genes (agronomic traits), particularly those related to resistance biotic abiotic stressors. However, there is a limited understanding of the genetic diversity relationships this germplasm. This study aimed determine relationship b...
