During processing of mango (Mangifera indica) into beverages, squashes and jellies, by-products such as peel and kernel are generated. The higher generation volume of mango-seed makes it cheaper and readily available material for extraction of starch. The current article addresses the mango-seed as potential source of starch over the conventional sources. The starch isolation, its composition structural morphology along with the various physicochemical properties are well discussed. Various modifications for improving the functionality of mango-seed starch (MSS) are comprehensively investigated based on the previous findings. Digestibility profile and glycaemic index of MSS reflected the presence of more resistant starch compared to other conventional starches; making it suitable ingredient for managing diabetes. The structure of mango seed starch can be easily manipulated using biological, chemical and physical methods for improving its application in the foods. Possible utilization of the MSS at large scale will improve the economic viability of the mango processing industries.
