Mango
Our customers use mango NFC juice because of its naturally sweet flavor, vibrant color, and broad versatility in product development. Mango has a rich, tropical taste that enhances beverages, desserts, sauces, and snacks, making it a popular ingredient across many categories. Its smooth, creamy texture—especially in puree form—helps improve mouthfeel and consistency in products like smoothies, yogurts, and baby foods. Mango is also rich in vitamins such as vitamin C and A, as well as antioxidants, supporting health-focused marketing claims. It is commonly processed into purees, concentrates, dried pieces, and powders, which extend shelf life and make it convenient for large-scale manufacturing while maintaining consistent flavor and quality.
Mango can be supplied as organic upon request
Botanical: Mangifera Indica
4,000 Years in the Himalayas
Mango (Mangifera indica), often called the “King of Fruits,” is a tropical stone fruit, its mango NFC juice is prized globally for its rich, aromatic flavor, natural sweetness, and vibrant golden-orange flesh. Packed with Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and natural carotenoids, mango is one of the most sought-after flavor profiles in the food and beverage industry.
Brothers International and it’s partners are the exclusive providers of the Magdalena River Mango®. Grown exclusively along the fertile banks of the Magdalena River in Colombia, this unique origin yields a superior tropical mango with extraordinarily high natural sweetness, low fiber, rich golden pulp, and a distinctively complex aroma. It offers unmatched flavor integrity for premium NFC juices, craft beverages, and gourmet food applications.
In commercial processing, variety selection dictates fiber content, color intensity, acidity, and overall mouthfeel. Alphonso mangos are known for its deep saffron-orange color, rich aroma, and smooth texture, widely considered a benchmark for premium purees and nectar bases. Totapuri are highly valued for its balanced sweet-tart flavor, rich body, and high processing yields, serving as a versatile foundation for commercial juice blends and concentrates. Kent & Keitt are popular Western Hemisphere varieties offering low-fiber, sweet pulp with excellent color stability for mango NFC juices and puree concentrates.
Brothers International works closely with origin processors who harvest mangos at peak ripeness, immediately de-stoning, pulping, and refining the fruit into silky smooth purees and clarified concentrates.
