Abstract
Historically, Mangifera indica L. cultivations have been widely planted in tropical areas of India, Africa, Asia, and Central America. However, at least 20 years ago its spreading allowed the development of some cultivars in Sicily, an island to the south of Italy, where the favourable subtropical climate and adapted soils represent the perfect field to create new sources of production for the Sicilian agricultural supply chain. Currently, cultivations of Kensington Pride, Keitt, Glenn, Maya, and Tommy Atkins varieties are active in Sicily and their products meet the requirements of local and European markets. Mango plants produce fleshy stone fruits rich in phytochemicals with an undisputed nutritional value for its high content of polyphenolics and vitamins. This review provides an overview of the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties of mango, a fruit that should be included in everyone’s diet for its multifaceted biochemical actions and health-enhancing properties.
Highlights
Nowadays, the use of medicinal plants and bioactive phytocompounds has seen more growing interest
Mangifera indica L. is native to India and Southeast Asia [7] where it has been cultivated for over 4000 years for the good qualities of the fruits
An added value was provided by the market surveys and nutraceutical properties similar to those imported by tropical areas, with the advantage of ripening showing a growing interest of local, national, and European consumers towards a product that seems on the tree and offering a fresh fruit
Summary
The use of medicinal plants and bioactive phytocompounds has seen more growing interest. In the Mediterranean area, cultivar in Catania province It was only years later (2000), after in-depth research, Spain and Israel are the major producing countries. Albeit the spread local profitable mango enthusiasm to cover soils, previously dedicated to citrus groves and nooflonger can be compromised by value pathogenicity this new recoveryshowing of the plant met for orchards. An added was [12], provided by agricultural the market surveys a growing the farmer’s enthusiasm to cover abandoned soils, previously dedicated to citrus groves and no interest of local, national, and European consumers towards a product that seems to have qualitative longer profitable for Sicilian rural market. An added value was provided by the market surveys and nutraceutical properties similar to those imported by tropical areas, with the advantage of ripening showing a growing interest of local, national, and European consumers towards a product that seems on the tree and offering a fresh fruit.
