Abstract

The fruit of Bouea microphylla referred as plum mango or gandaria is a popular seasonal fruit, which is widely consumed in the Malay subcontinent. There is ample of traditional knowledge available among the locals on the use of leaves, bark, fruits, and seeds of this plant. However, very limited research information and scientific report is available on their composition, phytochemicals, or on the bioactive compounds. In the present chapter, we have aimed towards comprehensively providing information on nutritional value, functional qualities, health-promoting bioactive compounds, and volatile constituents of this underutilized fruit.
