Abstract:
Mango seed powder has an effective nutritional impact as it is rich in dietary fiber, protein, and micronutrients. Antioxidants included in mango seed powder are effective in the treatment of diabetes, diarrhoea, irregular bowel movements, allergies, cancer, urinary tract infections, and haemorrhoids. Mango seed powder's physical characteristics and nutritional makeup were studied in this study. The bulk density, swelling capacity, swelling index, hydration capacity, and hydration index of mango seed powder are each 0.54 ± 0.01 g/ml, 2.30 ± 0.26 ml/g, 0.07 ± 0.02, 0.86 ± 0.03%, and 0.43 ± 0.02 respectively. The quantity of crude energy, protein, calcium, iron, and phosphorus content in mango seed powder was found to be higher. Our research suggests that since mango seed powder has a higher concentration of nutrients that are good for health, it can be used in various other food products.
