Abstract

Mango (Mangifera indica) tree is an evergreen domestic plant with immense nutritional and medicinal properties. African mango leaf and root extracts have been reported to have inhibitory activity against several bacteria and fungi. Mango has different species but, this study was focused on the bark of three species (Mangifera indica L., Irvinga gabonensis and Mangifera indica). Samples were collected from Toru-Orua and Ebedebiri Communities in Sagbama Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, Nigeria, and a comparative study of the proximate, mineral and bioactive compounds in the bark was carried out. Proximate analysis of the bark of Mangifera indica L., Irvinga gabonensis and Mangifera indica showed 59.73%, 65.07%, 64.44% moisture content, 1.98%, 4.09%, 2.03% ash content, 1.93%, 1.30%, 1.73% protein content, 5.56%, 6.09%, 7.12% fat content, 0.90%, 0.74%, 2.50% fibre content, and 29.90%, 22.71%, 22.19% carbohydrate content respectively, Result shows that the bark of Irvinga gabonesis contains more moisture, hence will be more vulnerable to microbial contamination and high degree of perishability. The bark of Mangifera indica contains about three times fiber content than the bark of Mangifera indica L. and Irvinga gabonensis; implying that the bark of Mangifera indica could be a good source of fiber. The value observed for Irvinga gabonensis was insignificantly low compared to the fibre content in the seed as reported in the literature. Mineral concentrations of 0.3304%, 0.2296%, 0.2950% K, 0.0056%, 0.0024%, 0.0080% Fe, 0.0050%, 0.0004%, 0.0005% Mn, 1.2163%, 1.1659%, 1.0151% Ca, 0.1684%, 0.2417%, 0.1785% P were analysed respectively. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of methanolic extract of the bark of Mangifera indica L, Irvinga gabonensis and Mangifera indica showed fifteen, nine and ten bioactive compounds respectively. GC-MS results of the three mango bark species indicate that bioactive compounds are peculiar to a species. Performic acid has been shown to have strong bactericidal and sporicidal effect. Result shows that a significant amount of performic acid, 89.8% is contained in the bark of Mangifera indica L. affirming its use in folk medicine. All the analysed compounds have different biological activities justifying the use of Mangifera indica L, Irvinga gabonensis and Mangifera indica bark in traditional medicine for the treatment of malaria, thyphoid and COVID-19.
