Mango Peel Extract Has Functional Food Potential
According to a new research from India, mango peel extract is a rich, inexpensive source of antioxidants that can be potentially used in nutraceuticals and functional foods.

As reported in the journal Food Chemistry, acetonelinks has been used to extract the antioxidants from the peel of both ripe and raw mangoes. When the antioxidant activity of the extract was measured, the extract has been found to be rich in anthocyanins, carotenoids and polyphenols.

In today's market, the main sources of polyphenols are green tea extracts, grape seed extracts and pine bark extracts.

Mango peels are a huge by-product of the mango processing industry and with this new finding can be put into good use and less problem of waste disposal.

Find more details from the full report.
