Mango kernel can be used as a potential source for functional food ingredi-ents, animal feeds, antimicrobial compounds and cosmetic due to its high quality of fat and protein as well as high levels of natural antioxidants. Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the physicochemical and phytochemical analysis of Mangifera Indica Linn. Methods Aamra Kernel were collected, cleaned, dried and powdered. Aqueous and alcoholic extracts of Aamra kernel were analyzed for physicochemical and phytochemical constituents. The study was conduct-ed as per the guidelines of Ayurvedic pharmacopeia of India. Results: The result of physicochemical parameters (moisture content: 10.2%, total ash: 2.12%, acid insolu-ble ash: 0.3%, water soluble ash: 1.42%, aqueous extractive value: 14.67% and alcoholic extractive value 12.98%). The phytochemical studies revealed the presence of active constituents, carbohydrates, amino acid, steroids, proteins, saponins, alkaloids, glycosides, tannins in aqueous and alcoholic extracts. Conclusion: All studies standardization parameters like physicochemical and phytochemical screening pa-rameters provide the knowledge in the identification, authentication of kernel of Mangifera Indica Linn. Hence it is concluded that this drug supposed to be great beneficial and boon for our society.
