exploring and validating physicochemical properties of mangiferin through gastroplus® software.mangiferin (mgf), a promising therapeutic polyphenol, exhibits poor oral bioavailability. hence, apt delivery systems are required to facilitate its gastrointestinal absorption. the requisite details on its physicochemical properties have not yet been well documented in literature. accordingly, in order to have explicit insight into its physicochemical characteristics, the present work was undertaken using gastroplus™ software.201728344830
low-temperature conditioning induces chilling tolerance in stored mango fruit.in this study, mango fruit were pre-treated with low-temperature conditioning (ltc) at 12°c for 24h, followed by refrigeration at 5°c for 25days before removal to ambient temperature (25°c) to investigate the effects and possible mechanisms of ltc on chilling injury (ci). the results showed that ltc effectively suppressed the development of ci in mango fruit, accelerated softening, and increased the soluble solids and proline content. furthermore, ltc reduced electrolyte leakage, and levels of m ...201727765262

in vitro comparative study of the inhibitory effects of mangiferin and its aglycone norathyriol towards udp-glucuronosyl transferase (ugt) isoforms.mangiferin (mgf), the predominant constituent of extracts of the mango plant mangifera indica l., has been investigated extensively because of its remarkable pharmacological effects. in vitro recombinant ugts-catalyzed glucuronidation of 4-methylumbelliferone (4-mu) was used to investigate the inhibition of mangiferin and aglycone norathyriol towards various isoforms of ugts in our study, which evaluated the inhibitory capacity of mgf and its aglycone norathyriol (ntr) towards udp-glucuronosyltr ...201728621744
mangos and their bioactive components: adding variety to the fruit plate for health.the diet is an essential factor affecting the risk for development and progression of modern day chronic diseases, particularly those with pathophysiological roots in inflammation and oxidative stress-induced damage. the potential impact of certain foods and their bioactive compounds to reverse or prevent destructive dysregulated processes leading to disease has attracted intense research attention. the mango (mangifera indica linn.) is a tropical fruit with distinctive nutritional and phytochem ...201728612853
chilling stress upregulates α-linolenic acid-oxidation pathway and induces volatiles of c6 and c9 aldehydes in mango fruit.mango-fruit storage period and shelf life are prolonged by cold storage. however, chilling temperature induces physiological and molecular changes, compromising fruit quality. in our previous transcriptomic study of mango fruit, cold storage at suboptimal temperature (5 °c) activated the α-linolenic acid metabolic pathway. to evaluate changes in fruit quality during chilling, we analyzed mango "keitt" fruit peel volatiles. gc-ms analysis revealed significant modulations in fruit volatiles during ...201728075566
transcriptional transitions in alphonso mango (mangifera indica l.) during fruit development and ripening explain its distinct aroma and shelf life characteristics.alphonso is known as the "king of mangos" due to its unique flavor, attractive color, low fiber pulp and long shelf life. we analyzed the transcriptome of alphonso mango through illumina sequencing from seven stages of fruit development and ripening as well as flower. total transcriptome data from these stages ranged between 65 and 143 mb. importantly, 20,755 unique transcripts were annotated and 4,611 were assigned enzyme commission numbers, which encoded 142 biological pathways. these included ...201728821734
