Only ripe mangos have ß-selinene.
Interesting trivia:
The mango is in the same family as poison ivy and contains urushiol, though much less than poison ivy. Some people get dermatitis from touching mango peel or sap.

Citric acid and related compounds are responsible for the sour taste. Several terpenes (ocimene, myrcene, limonene), aldehyde s and esters have been found in the dried unripe fruits. Furthermore, unripe mangoes contain proteolytic enzymes.
In ripe mangoes, volatile compounds (40 to 70 ppm) are ocimene, limonene, α-terpineol, 3-carene, β-selinene and myrcene. The yellow colour is due to about 30 ppm β-carotene.
