Abstract: 
The present research work embraces the study of moisture content, yield percentage, organoleptic properties, and phytochemical and biochemical estimation of two varieties of mango seed kernel using different solvents with various polarity such as n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, acetone, methanol, and aqueous. Moisture content and percentage of yield were also calculated which were more in Banganpalle variety. The qualitative phytochemical and biochemical screening indicated the presence and amount of phenol, flavonoid, tannin, quinone, oxalate, saponin, sterol, triterpene, carbohydrate, protein, and lipid. The quantitative analysis result showed that phytochemicals like phenol, flavonoids, and tannin were present in higher content in the seed kernel of Neelam as compared to Banganpalle. The results from biochemical tests showed a high content of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids in Neelam. The present study therefore conclusively points out that the mango seed kernel is a good source of various pharmacologically active substances that make a potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and other therapeutic uses.
