Total kernel lipids (TL) in Alphonso mango (Mangifera indica) extracted amounted to 11.6% of the dry kernel. The TL consisted of 96.1% neutral and 3.9% polar lipids which comprised 2.9% glycolipids and 1.0% phospholipids. At least six glycolipids and six phospholipids were identified. Acyl-monogalactosyldiacylglycerol, monogalactosyldiacylglycerol, and digalactosylmonoacylglycerol were the major glycolipids, while acylated stearyl glucoside, monogalactosylmonoacylglycerol and digalactosyldiacylglycerol were present in small quantities. The phospholipids consisted of: phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylinositol as major phospholipids and minor amounts of phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and lysophosphatidylethanolamine. The fatty acid composition of these different glycolipids and phospholipids was determined.
