In the present work, a systematic study on the comparative in-vitro antioxidant activity of aqueous extracts of seven locally available cultivars of unripe mango (Mangifera indica L.) fruits was performed. Our study clearly demonstrates that despite different colors, tastes, and appearance, each of these cultivars is a rich source of dietary antioxidants, e.g., polyphenols, flavonoids, and ascorbic acid, but the contents of these active components vary with change of the mango cultivars. Moreover, for the first time we have explored Au nanoparticle formation potential of mango to measure its antioxidant activity.
