SERNA COCK, Liliana y TORRES LEON, Cristian. Agro industrial potential of peels of mango (Mangifera indica) Keitt and Tommy Atkins. Acta Agron. [online]. 2015, vol.64, n.2, pp.110-115. ISSN 0120-2812. https://doi.org/10.15446/acag.v64n2.43579.
According to yield contents of total phenols and their proximate composition (dry matter, protein, ether extract, ash, dietary fiber, and gross energy) the agro-industrial potential of the peels from the mango varieties Keitt and Tommy Atkins was evaluated. The peels were lyophilized in order to preserve its antioxidant compounds. A univariate design with two levels was used, data were presented as mean ± standard deviation (p = 0.05). The artisanal processing generated 13.5 ± 0.48% of peels for variety Tommy Atkins and 16.1 ± 0.5% for the Keitt variety, dry matter of 18 and 17% respectively. The contents of dry matter make these agro-industrial wastes are potential to develop value-added products. The contents of soluble and insoluble fiber coincided with the classification of high fiber content (22.1% db Keitt and Tommy Atkins 19.9% bs., It was concluded that the mango peels and Tommy Atkins variety Keitt have potential as a food ingredient, dietary supplement, and the formulation of functional foods prebiotics, because they are excellent source of dietary fiber and phenolic compounds (> 3000 mg.100g-1 D.M.).
