| Summary: | The large amount of waste produced by the food industries causes serious environmental problems and
also results in economic losses if not utilized effectively. Different research reports have revealed that
food industry by-products can be good sources of potentially valuable bioactive compounds. As such,
the mango juice industry uses only the edible portions of the mangoes, and a considerable amount of
peels and seeds are discarded as industrial waste. These mango by-products come from the tropical or
subtropical fruit processing industries. Mango by-products, especially seeds and peels, are considered
to be cheap sources of valuable food and nutraceutical ingredients. The main uses of natural food ingredients
derived from mango by-products are presented and discussed, and the mainstream sectors of
application for these by-products, such as in the food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and cosmetic industries,
are highlighted. |
