Industrial potential of the mango peel (Mangifera indica L.) to obtain pectin in Mexico
At 2020 Mexico exports around 24% of the national mango production, it is industrialized from 13 to 16%, and the rest is sold as fresh fruit. However, despite its low processing, the waste generated by the mango industry (32-50%) is a source of environmental pollution. In addition, losses add up of...

| Sumario: | At 2020 Mexico exports around 24% of the national mango production, it is industrialized from 13 to 16%, and the rest is sold as fresh fruit. However, despite its low processing, the waste generated by the mango industry (32-50%) is a source of environmental pollution. In addition, losses add up of fresh fruit (30-50%) associated with the post-harvest handling and commercialization problems. The exploitation of mango-biomass not used represents a potential for elaborate byproducts to give it added value and promote the economic development of the regions that produce this fruit, where the pectin can be a good value-added alternative with yields of 15 to 32%. Nowadays one kilogram of commercial pectin in the market can cost $1,000.00 pesos. In addition, fiber, and phenols with potential use in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries can be obtained from the remaining biomass. The compilation of what is known about pectin content in mango peel from different cultivars, a brief analysis of the current pectin market, and the most efficient extraction methods were objectives of this review. |
