Mango peel contains a lot of mangiferin, quercetin, rhamnetin, ellagenic acid and kaempferol. The peel also contains many anthocyanidins. There were some differences between mango varieties. For example, it was discovered that peonidin-3-galactoside can be found only in the Florida variety Haden. The scientists investigated other parts of the mango tree. Each part was seen to have unique and useful qualities and the pulp, skin, bark, leaves and flowers can be used medicinally.

It contains 2855 different types of proteins. Proteins are very healthy and can be found in all kinds of plant foods such as legumes, fruits, vegetables, root vegetables, nuts and seeds.

-
Indian researchers completed a study of mango peel powder in 2015. The mango shells were taken from the waste site of a mango processing factory. It is high in polyphenols, carotenoids and fiber, the researchers found. The powder was given to diabetic or diabetic rats. These were found to get better enzyme production in the blood plasma, kidneys and liver. This is a sign that antioxidants are at work that can lower the symptoms of diabetes. Besides the increased enzyme production, the presence of fiber is important for diabetics. Fiber is always good for people with diabetes. These retain sugar longer in the digestive tract, which means fewer peaks and dips in blood sugar levels.
