 Mango
(Mangifera indica)
Summary

From the family Anacardiaceae, a Mango production in the Philippines

grew an average annual rate of 1.9% . PH also placed ninth on the top 10
mango exporter countries which exports 24, 076 tonnes.
REGION ISLAND Production (tonnes)

CALABARZON Luzon 59,474

Mango fruit exist in different native names in the Philippines: Indian

mango, Carabao mango, Apple mango, Guimaras Mango, Pahutan Mango,
etc. It is a common dessert and is used as a herbal medicine as a anti-
diabetic.

Summary
According to Romanik et. al. (2007) extraction is considered as the first basic stage in
medicinal plant research which will be the starting point for separation and purification of
chemical constituents.

ISOLATION OF MANGIFERIN:
Plant parts are subjected to deffating by petroleum ether and extraction by soxhlet apparatus with
ethanol.
Bhuvaneswari (2013) used the leaves, the concentrated mass were resuspended in ethanol
then partitioned with dichloromethane 4 times. The aqueous-alcoholic phase was treated with
H2 SO4 then partitioned with ethyl acetate for 3 times, dried, and dissolved in ethanol and
cooled overnight. Precipitate is filtered, dissolved in ethanol and cooled overnight.
Biswas et. al. (2015) used the flowering buds, the dried extract was absorbed on silica gel and
chromatographed over silica gel column packed in petroleum ether. The column was eluted
with chloroform : acetone : formic acid (8: 1.5 : 0.5), which gave yellow amorphous powder.
Salomon et. al. (2014) used the leaves in Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE). Under
ranges of the variables such as time, power, and solvent of the microwave apparatus
mangiferin can be extracted. 10g of leaves powder was put into extraction vessel and was
refluxed with 200mL of water. And then filtered and subjected to identification tests.

Summary
Studies concerning antimicrobial property of Mangifera indica usually involves the extract of
leaves, fruit, and seed. Anti-microbial assays of those studies includes: disc diffusion method,
paper disk diffusion and agar well diffusion method.

Biswas (2015) concluded that the solution of the isolated mangiferin from the flowering buds was found to
exert promising antibacterial activity against gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative
(Salmonella typhi) . The study found a very promising and readily available source for treating infections
caused by bacteria.
