Mango pulp refers to the fleshy, non-fibrous part of the mango fruit, which is indeed a pulp. According to provided information, mango pulp is a pseudoplastic liquid composed of starch components, fiber (i.e., pectin and other fibers) and soluble components (i.e., sugar and organic acids and water as a solvent). Most of the water is bound to these components to form a viscous pulp. Therefore, when we talk about mango pulp, we're referring to the processed form of this fleshy part.
Therefore, mango is a fruit, but can be further processed into pulp. Mango pulp can be used to prepare juice, nectar, drinks, jams, fruit cheese and various other products.
