We do not currently include the MIME type in the response from metadata returned by the Chooser. I have filed this as a feature request for the Chooser.
In cases where the returned file name includes a file extension, is it possible to infer the MIME type from the file extension?

Greg, Thanks. I am able to successfully retrieve the data. However, when the file is selected, as a part of the metadata of the file that is returned(id, name, link etc), I would also need mime type of the document I selected. Is there a way to get this?. Kindly let me know.
