Abstract

Mango is one of the most important tropical fruits and its pulp is known to be a rich source of carotenoids. Investigations on the phenolic compn. of the peels of a red-colored cultivar (cv. 'Tommy Atkins') revealed the presence of a new anthocyanin, 7-O-methylcyanidin 3-O-β-D-galactopyranoside. Its structure was elucidated by extensive 1D and 2D NMR studies, MS, and chem. transformation.
