Assessment of Biologically Active Components and Nutritional Contents of Seed Kernels of Opioro and Julie Mango Varieties: A Right Step for Drug Discovery

This study was aimed at investigating the biologically active compounds and nutritional compositions in seed kernels of Opioro Julie varieties with medicinal qualities. The were milled, dissolved methanol concentrated rotary evaporator. chemical these extracts analyzed Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry while mineral proximate assessed methods Association Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC). Both did not contain similar compounds. A total 22 obtained from only 13 discovered Julie. Five bioactive namely cholest-5-en-3-ol, (3.alpha.) (31.63%), 2-Pyridinamine, N-(4,5-dihydro-5-methyl-2-thiazolyl)-3-methyl- (14.74%), 2-Methyl-7-phenylindole (6.96%), benzo[h]quinoline, 2,4-dimethyl (6.61%) 7-Methyl -2-phenyl-1H-indole (4.27%) abundant. In Julie, Octadecanoic acid, 6-Octadecenoic 1, 2, 3-Benzenetriol n-Hexadecanoic acid plentiful highest peak percentage 39.76%, 16.05% 5.41% respectively. protein, fibre, moisture ash contents significantly different but, carbohydrates varied (P<0.05) between 71.36±0.37% 70.22±0.44% fats 7.20±0.48% 9.21±0.31% Phosphorus (1610.00±14.00 ppm), calcium (4595.00±7.07 magnesium (1984.50±21.92 ppm) high zinc (18.197±0.25), copper (14.960±0.09), iron (319.615±2.28) manganese (337.940±5.80) more than have abundant properties. essential elements rich both are potentially required can be capable improving health conditions humans animals.
