Type of data	Table Graph Spectroscopic data
How data were acquired	Spectral datasets of all intact mango samples were acquired using a benchtop Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (Thermo Nicolet Antaris II TM). Spectra range used were 1000–2500 nm with co-added of 64 scans and recorded as Log(1/R) absorbance spectra data.
Data format	Raw Analysed Enhanced Presented as .xls and .unsb file formats
Parameters for data collection	Data were collected for all 186 mango fruit samples with varied different maturity stages from un-ripen to senescence.
Description of data collection	Near infrared spectra data were collected for a total of 186 intact mango samples in wavelength range from 1000 to 2500 nm. On the other hand, actual vitamin C, SSC and TA of mango samples were measured using standard laboratory methods as follows: titration method used to measure Vitamin C and TA, expressed in mg.100g−1 fresh mass (FM); whilst refraction index was employed to acquire SSC data of mango samples and presented as oBrix.
Data source location	Data were collected in Georg-August University of Goettingen, Germany.
Data accessibility	Dataset are available on this article and can be found in Mendeley data: https://doi.org/10.17632/b9d6s7hr33.1 or https://data.mendeley.com/datasets/b9d6s7hr33/1
