Developmental Stages.

Description The food and agricultural industries produce a large volume of wastes annually
worldwide, causing a serious disposal problem. This is especially problematic in
countries where the economy is largely based on agriculture and where the farming
practice is very intensive. Currently, these agro-wastes are either allowed to decay
naturally on the fields or are burnt. However, these wastes are rich in bioactive
compounds, and other valuable compounds. Hence, utilization of biological wastes is of
great concern to the industry due to legislation and environmental reasons and
therefore, the industry is forced to find an alternative use for its residual matter. One of
the agro-wastes currently causing pollution problems is the peels of the mango
(Mangifera indica L.) fruit. It is cultivated or grown naturally in over 90 countries
worldwide (mainly tropical and subtropical regions) and is known to be the second
largest produced tropical fruit crop in the world. Mango peel is a major byproduct
obtained during the processing of mango products such as mango pulp and amchur in
the present study, the antioxidant activity and antiplatelet aggregation of mango peel
extracts were examined. Polyphenol, anthocyanin and flavonoid contents in acetone
extract of peels were determined.
