Thirty dried mango samples of Amélie, Brooks and Lippens varieties were collected for physico-chemical analyses to understanding the conditions of appearance of the enzymatic browning. These analyses showed that the higher contents of dry matter, assayable acidity, vitamin C and phenolic substrates were respectively 95,86 ± 0.01 mg/g; 1.56 ± 3.60 equivalent of acid citrique/g; 205.77 ± 56.71 mg/g and 54.78 × 10-3± 5.06 mg/g for the Amélie variety. The higher total sugar concentration was of 51.08 ± 2.59 mg/g for the Lippens variety. The highest activities in polyphenoloxydase and peroxidase were respectively of 19.75 × 10-3± 0.01 and 52. 62 × 10-3± 2.64 for the Amélie variety. Peroxidases and polyphenoloxydases as their phenolic substrates are the principal agents responsible for the process of tanning enzymatic. The level of the damage caused during storage on the quality of the finished product is a function of the oxidized phenolic substrate concentration.
