Characterisation of fibre-rich powder and antioxidant capacity of Mangifera pajang K. fruit peels

► Huge amount of by-product peels can be exploited from Mangifera pajang. ► The peels of M. pajang K. constitute 27% of its fruit compared to 15% of commercial Mangifera indica. ► Peels of M.pajang has interestingly of total polyphenols (TEP) and soluble dietary fibre (SDF) with value of 98 mg/g and 33% respectively. ► M.pajang peels fruit has a better source of SDF with a balance ratio between SDF and IDF 46:54. ► The physicochemical properties of the fibre-rich powder prepared from M.pajang make it a suitable by-product to be used in the preparation of a low calorie and high fibre diet.
