Determination of Melting Point of Flavonoids from Mango by Capillary Method (CAT#: STEM-PPA-0058-YJL)

Introduction

Flavonoids are a major class of oxygen-containing heterocyclic natural products that are widespread in green plants. Generally, they are found as plant pigments in a broad range of fruits and vegetables. These are C15 compounds composed of two aromatic rings linked through a three-carbon bridge with a carbonyl functional group located at one end of the bridge. Flavonoids have been recognized as having a protective effect in plants against microbial invasion by plant pathogens. <br />Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is an economically important tropical fruit found throughout the world. Mango contains various classes of polyphenols, carotenoids, and ascorbic acid, which demonstrate different health-promoting properties, mainly from their antioxidant activities.
