Mango (Mangifera indica) is one of the most popular tropical fruits around the world. It is also widely and commonly used in many cuisines and products in the food industry. However, the anaphylactic reaction caused by mango has long been reported as a major problem for consumption in recent years. To prevent allergens in mango, the best way is to avoid mango in the diet. In this study, a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay was developed for the detection of mango in food. Four specifically designed LAMP primers targeting the internal transcribed sequence 1 (ITS1) of nuclear ribosomal DNA sequence regions were used to address the LAMP reaction for amplifying mango DNA. The results demonstrated that the detection of mango DNA was specifically validated by the LAMP primer. The sensitivity of LAMP for detecting mango DNA is equivalent to that of the traditional PCR method. The LAMP primer sets showed high specificity for detecting the DNA of mango and had no cross-reactions to other species. Moreover, when mango was mixed with other fruits at different ratios, no cross-reactivity for the detection of mango DNA was manifested during LAMP. Finally, genomic DNAs extracted from different heat-processed mangos were used as templates; the detection of mango DNA by LAMP was not significantly affected and was reproducible. As to this established LAMP herein, mango ingredients can be detected, and commercial foods containing mango can also be identified. This assay will be useful and have potential for the rapid detection of mango DNA in practical food markets.
