HINCAPIE LL., GUSTAVO ADOLFO; VASQUEZ O, DIANA CAROLINA; GALICIA M, VALERIA SOFÍA  and  HINCAPIE LL., CARLOS AUGUSTO. TECHNOLOGICAL AND FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES OF DIETARY FIBER FROM MANGO PEEL VAR. HILACHA (Mangifera indica L.): EFFECT OF CONVECTION DRYING. Rev.Bio.Agro [online]. 2014, vol.12, n.1, pp.153-160. ISSN 1692-3561.

A byproduct from juice extraction of mango is the peel, which contains significant levels of dietary fiber that could be used in food processing, however, is not currently utilized. The drying process extends the useful life of the peel and allows it to be added to other foods. In This work, we made a chemical characterization of HMP and evaluated the drying temperature effect over functional properties of dietary fiber; Swelling Capacity (SC), Water Retention Capacity (WRC) and Lipid Adsorption Capacity (LAC), features that define, in high degree, dietary fiber (DF) quality. Results showed that the HMP is similar to other mangoes varieties, because have a similar content of total dietary fiber, protein, ether extract, carbohydrates and crude fiber. The dry peel of Hilacha mango (MDPHM) obtained, is a promising source of DF because their quality didn’t affected significantly for the drying process used in this work.

Keywords : Swelling capacity; Water retention capacity; Lipidadsorptioncapacity.
