Fruit & ingredient profile
Mango character in a concentrated industrial format
Mango is the fruit of Mangifera indica, a tropical tree in the Anacardiaceae family. Botanically, mango is a drupe or stone fruit, with edible flesh surrounding a large central seed. Commercial varieties differ considerably in sweetness, acidity, fiber, aroma, flesh color and flavor intensity, making varietal selection relevant to industrial ingredient performance.
Ripe mango flesh typically ranges from yellow to deep orange and has a sweet, full-bodied tropical profile with cultivar-dependent floral, peach-like, citrus, resinous or honeyed notes. Industrial sourcing programs may identify varieties such as Totapuri, Alphonso, Kesar, Neelam or other regional cultivars and blends.
For concentrate production, sound ripe fruit is washed, peeled or processed, separated from the seed and converted into juice or pulp before water is removed under controlled conditions. Depending on the process, the resulting ingredient may retain substantial mango body and suspended solids or may be clarified and concentrated to a much higher Brix.
Product-style note: mango concentrate is not one standardized physical format. A pulpy 28–30° Brix mango concentrate behaves very differently from a clarified concentrate near 65° Brix. Buyers should specify the required style, Brix, viscosity or clarity and end application when requesting a quotation.
