Mango (Mangifera indica L.), an edible fruit, is one of the main agricultural products in many tropical regions. Mango varieties differ in not only fruit shape but also aroma, which is an important characteristic. Although the fruit has many uses, the seeds are discarded as waste. Therefore, this study aimed to estimate the fatty acid content of seed oil of mangoes from different cultivation areas (Miyazaki, Japan, and Taiwan), and to evaluate their application in cosmetics. Five fatty acids were identified in the mango seed oil. Oleic acid and stearic acid were the principal components of mango seed oil obtained from Miyazaki (46.1% and 39.8%, respectively) and Taiwan (43.7% and 40.1%, respectively). As a cosmetic ingredient, mango seed oil showed good deodorizing effect on both 2-nonenal and isovaleric acid. The results indicated the potential applications of mango seed oil in the cosmetic industry.
芒果（杧果）是一种可食用水果，是许多热带地区的主要农产品之一。芒果品种不仅在果实形状上有所不同，其香气也存在差异，而香气是一个重要特征。尽管芒果果实有多种用途，但其种子却被当作废弃物丢弃。因此，本研究旨在测定来自不同种植地区（日本宫崎和台湾）的芒果种子油中的脂肪酸含量，并评估其在化妆品中的应用。在芒果种子油中鉴定出了五种脂肪酸。油酸和硬脂酸是从宫崎（分别为46.1%和39.8%）和台湾（分别为43.7%和40.1%）获得的芒果种子油的主要成分。作为一种化妆品成分，芒果种子油对2-壬烯醛和异戊酸均表现出良好的除臭效果。结果表明芒果种子油在化妆品行业具有潜在的应用价值。
