The thin-layer chromatographic (TLC) analysis of extracts/compounds has several applications in the field of food, cosmetics, phytochemistry, and pharmaceutical industry. Mangiferin is a bioactive and natural antioxidant polyphenolic xanthone obtained from different dietary plants and recently gaining remarkable attention due to its high pharmacological significance evident in current scientific validations. This review contains various TLC methods reported so far for the qualitative and quantitative assessments of mangiferin after collating selected research papers from online scientific databases as PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus. In particular, confirmation of mangiferin from dietary plant, herbal formulations, and biological and bioautographic samples through TLC are discussed in detail and comparison is also established in terms of selectivity, sensitivity, and validity. Ultimately, critical evaluation was done with the aim to deliver useful suggestions for the selection of suitable mobile phase, sample preparation, and detection methods for the analysis of mangiferin.

提取物/化合物的薄层色谱（TLC）分析在食品，化妆品，植物化学和制药行业领域中具有多种应用。芒果苷是一种生物活性的天然抗氧化剂多酚黄酮，得自不同的饮食植物，由于其在当前科学验证中具有很高的药理学意义，最近受到了广泛关注。这篇综述包含了迄今报道的各种TLC方法，用于对芒果苷的定性和定量评估，方法是对来自在线科学数据库（如PubMed，Web of Science和Scopus）的精选研究论文进行整理。特别是从饮食植物，草药配方中确认芒果苷，并详细讨论了通过TLC进行的生物学和生物自传样品，并在选择性，敏感性和有效性方面进行了比较。最终，进行了严格的评估，目的是为选择合适的流动相，样品制备和芒果苷分析方法提供有用的建议。
