Mangifera indica L. the scientific name for the mango tree, is one of the most significant and extensively eaten fruit crops worldwide. The nutritional and bioactive properties of this juicy fruit have led to its widespread consumption. The antioxidant vitamins, phenolics, flavonoids, and carotenoids found in mango fruits are only a few of the bioactive components they contain. The present study set out to assess biochemical traits in fifty different mango varieties grown for commercial purposes in the Indian state of Telangana. The results of all biochemical aspects showed significant variation among fifty mango cultivars, with some showing greater antioxidant capabilities than others. Among the fifty cultivars that were tested, maximum vitamin C content was noticed in Allampur Baneshan, (31.97mg/100g), Lalmuni recorded maximum beta carotene (2.81 mg/100g), Yerra Mulgoa recorded highest total flavonoids (331.11 mg QE/100g), Mahamooda Vikarabad noticed highest total phenolic compounds (173.20 mg GAE/100g), and Dashehari-35 had highest level of total antioxidant activity (326.38 µg/100g). There is a substantial variety among the cultivars investigated and documented significant quantity of biochemical characteristics important for antioxidant activity. The findings demonstrated that all fifty mango cultivars are of various biochemical characteristics and may be exploited in breeding programs for the enhancement of quality to satisfy the international standard for export. These potential varieties may also be appropriate for a commercial diet, which will provide further health advantages.
