Abstract

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is a tropical fruit with wide commercialization in the international market, with very attractive organoleptic and nutritional characteristics. In the Northeast of Argentina there are many wild plantations of these trees that give a fruit known as mango criollo, however there is no information about its composition. In this work, the fruits produced in the province of Corrientes (Argentina) between 2008 and 2015 were characterized, finding high contents of water (>75 %), total and reducing sugars (11.95±1.32 and 2.72±0.16 g glucose/100 g of tissue), crude fiber (>0.70 %) and total dietary fiber (8.10±0.25 %). In turn, these fruits have a high antioxidant activity mainly due to the levels of total phenols and carotenoids (1117.46±18.51 μg chlorogenic acid/g of tissue and 43.09±3.48 μg β-carotene/g of tissue), being the tenors of ascorbic acid reduced.
