Mango is a very common tropical fruit-bearing plant that belongs to the genus Mangifera [10] and family Anacardiaceae [11]. Mango has varied health benefits associated with its various parts [11] and attributable to its varied phyto-constituent. For instance, mangiferin a phytoconstituent of mango had antidiabetic activity in experimental animals [12]. Hence mango is of immense economic importance [10] and in particular, the mango fruit is extensively exploited for food, juice, flavor, fragrance and color [13]. As a consequence of the varied uses of mango fruit, mango seed that constitutes approximately 50 % of the total weight of mango fruit is generated as waste [14]. The disposal of such waste could contribute to environmental problems. However, mango seed could offer nutritional benefits because of its high carbohydrate and oil contents [13] as well as minerals and vitamins [15, 16]. In addition, mango seed could be useful as a therapeutic agent or as a drug. Dried and pulverized M. indica seed has been used in ethnomedication for managing diarrhea [17]. Essentially, M. indica seed is oblong-shaped and is made up of a stony endocarp that covers the soft kernel. The M. indica kernel may constitute up to 75 % of the seed and 20 % of the fruit [14]. The M. indica seed kernel, usually discarded along with the seed after consuming the fleshy part of the fruit, could serve dietary and pharmacologic purposes, warranting this study.
