Mango
Rich in vitamin A
The mango tree, originally from India, is a tropical tree that belongs to the Anacardiaceae family, the same as the cashew tree. ln Brazil, there are around five hundred varieties of mango, varying widely in size, shape and color. The smallest mangoes are the size of a plum, while the bigger varieties can weigh up to 2kg. Mangoes also vary greatly in shape, being round, oval, heart-shaped or elongated.
As regards color, the skin can be dark green, yellow or red, depending on the variety.
Mango pulp is succulent, with a very distinctive flavor; it is sometimes fibrous and has a color that ranges from light yellow to dark orange.
Mangoes are extremely rich in vitamin A (especially when ripe) and contain reasonable quantities of complex B vitamins and vitamin C, as well as some mineral salts, mainly iron.
They also have diuretic properties, which means they are recommended for people who retain liquid in their bodies.
The bark of the tree is used as an infusion for the treatment of colic.
The leaves and pulp of the fruit in syrup form are recommended against colds and bronchitis. The leaves and skin are also used in other treatments, like asthma.

Frulix exclusive process
1. The Technology
FRULIX is obtained through an exclusive biotechnological process that mimics the natural ripening of the fruit. Using the native enzymes that change the texture of the fruit during its ripening, it is possible to transform its pulp into a crystalline liquid.
2. Production of enzymes
The fruits are harvested, washed and processed into a paste. The slurry is inoculated with microorganisms and the semi-solid mass is placed to ferment. The mixture is separated and the enzymes are removed from the wort.
3. Processing the fruits
The fruits are harvested, washed and processed into the pulp. Seeds and bark are discarded. The pulp is inoculated with the Frulix Enzymes. The residues (fibers, solids) are removed and FRULIX is obtained. The product is stabilized and preserved.
4. Frulix
The clear liquid from the separation step receives preservatives, mixture and filling.
