Physico-chemical characteristics of mature green mango fruit and mint leaves

Abstract

The mature green mango fruits variety Ramkela and mint leaves were evaluated for various physico-chemical characteristics. Data show that average fruit weight and yield of pulp of mature green mango fruits were 203.00 g and 62.33 g/kg fruit. Yield of paste of mint leaves was 79.27%. Total soluble solids (TSS), total sugars, reducing sugars and acidity were analyzed to be 8.03 and 2.0%, 2.46 and 0.67%, 0.82 and 0.26% and 1.86 and 0.032%, whereas total carotenoids, total chlorophyll and total phenols were found to be 0.183 and 15.85 mg/100 g, 1.48 and 172.90 mg/100 g and 14.7 and 328.4 mg/100 g, respectively.
