Nutrition is not just food science; its depth has spread beyond the scope of our modern scientists’ knowledge. For instance, have you ever stained your clothes with mango juice or turmeric paste and tried to remove it by washing with plain water? It won’t go off that quickly as you might have thought! Then, if you start thinking a little more deeply, you might wonder how flavonoid polyphenolic compounds in mango pulp attributed for a unique color, flavor, taste, and many other special characters to this delicious fruit.
