Mango leaves unveiled: A comprehensive review of their benefits and uses

Abstract

Mangifera indica L. is a significant fruit from South and Southeast Asia that is a member of the Anacardiaceae family. Among the leading mango-producing nations are Bangladesh, Nigeria, the Philippines, Mexico, Brazil, Thailand, Indonesia, Pakistan, and China. Following a phytochemical analysis of the mango leaf extract, five benzophenones and seventeen flavonoids were isolated and identified. The biological properties of mango leaf (ML) extracts, such as their anti-cancer, antidiabetic, antioxidant, anti-microbial, anti-obesity, lipid-lowering, hepato-protective, and anti-diarrheal properties, have been investigated.
