Mango is a tropical fruit which is rich in vitamins, notably vitamin A and C. They are grown in orchards, and while they can be cultivated from seeds, many commercial operations prefer grafted trees for consistent fruit quality. These trees require warm climates with ample sunlight, wind, and water. Typically, a Mango tree takes about six years from planting to bear fruit, with harvesting season peaking in the summer.
Beyond their delectable taste, Mangoes are nutritionally dense, offering minerals, antioxidants, and essential vitamins. Popular Mango varieties include honey, Francis, Keitt, Haden, Kent, and Tommy Atkins. The mango tree also provides timber, and its kernel contains fat suitable for saponification.
Mango starch, on the other hand, finds its use in the confectionery industry. They are particularly high in beta-carotene, a potent antioxidant found in the fruit's pigments, which combats free radicals in the body. Mangoes also support heart health due to their potassium and magnesium content.
Mangoes have a strong presence and demand in the food and nutrition industry. They can be consumed fresh or processed into various products like pickles, juices, and flavorings for foods such as ice creams and beverages which mainly enhances its demand in the food, beverage and nutraceutical sector. Moreover, it finds its extensive application as a constituent element in production health supplements and medicinal products which amplifies its demand in the pharmaceutical and health & wellness industry. Additionally, industrial mango procurement is governed by various factors which include seasonality, marketing year of mango, quality standards, sustainability practices, regulatory compliance, supply chain management, etc.
Mangoes are important for the environment and economy because of their versatility from their fruits to their leaves and fibres, which contribute to their economic and environmental significance to a great extent.
Raw Material for Mango Production
According to the Mango production cost report, the various raw materials for mango production include Grafted Mango Seedlings-Manure.
Production Process of Mango
The extensive Mango production cost report consists of this major industrial production process:
- From Grafted Mango Seedlings and Manure: The production process of mango involves several steps. First, the desired variety of grafted mango seedlings are planted between June to August in nutrient-rich soil. The proper nutrient is provided at each stage with specific fertilizers. Irrigation is important mainly for young trees, and mulching is used to help conserve moisture. Also, regular pruning is required for healthy growth and sunlight penetration. Flower induction is assisted by using chemicals like paclobutrazol to enhance the fruit set. The harvesting is done after optimal maturity, and the harvested fruit is cooled to reduce spoilage. Finally, the mangoes are packaged for their usage in different applications.
Mangoes or Mangifera indica have smooth, thin skin that can vary in color from green to yellow or red. It has a juicy, fibrous pulp with a high moisture content that ranges from approximately 79% to 83% by weight. It is rich in macronutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, with good amounts of dietary fiber. It also contains essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin C, which is about 25.7 mg per 100 g of pulp. It is acidic because of the presence of organic acids like citric and malic acids. Its total sugar content ranges from 10% to 17%, and it also contains various phytochemicals like phenolic compounds and carotenoids.
