Mangrove apple is highly nutritious fruit abundant in Bangladesh. In rainy season vast amount of mangrove apple grown in Bangladesh. Especially it grows in the coastal area nearest Sundarban. In this study three different sample and one functional food were taken for preservation such as raw powder, blanched pulp powder, boiled pulp powder and jam of mangrove apple. Mangrove apple shell thickness is tiny. So ethane forms it very quickly and it will dust after few days. So we can consume it by preservation. Nutritional components such as moisture, ash, fat, protein, carbohydrates contents of samples (mangrove apple powder) obtained from the three different sample and the functional food. The moisture content of mangrove apple raw powder, blanched pulp powder, boiled pulp powder and jam of mangrove apple were 11.86%, 11.27%, 10.45 % and 52.63% respectively. The protein content of raw powder, blanched pulp powder, boiled pulp powder and jam of mangrove apple were 11.45%, 9.38%, 9.79% and 13.61% respectively. It showed that mangrove apple have been containing very high amount of protein content. The fat content of mangrove apple raw powder, blanched pulp powder, boiled pulp powder and jam of mangrove apple were 18.72%, 14.55%, 12.62% and 8.14% respectively. This proved that mangrove apple is also a good source of vegetable fat. The Ash content of mangrove apple raw powder, blanched pulp powder, boiled pulp powder and jam of mangrove apple were 6.10%, 5.45%, 5.86% and 5.16 % respectively. The Carbohydrates content of mangrove apple raw powder, blanched pulp powder, boiled pulp powder and jam of mangrove apple were 51.87%, 59.35%, 61.28% and 20.46% respectively. This study stated that, mangrove apple is a rich source of nutrients and could be a good source of food for human consumption.
