RESUMO

ABSTRACT In the present investigation was evaluated yield extraction and some physicochemical properties of seed fat for 20 mango (Mangifera Indica L.) cultivars in Colombia. Seeds of mature fruit were processed in flour and were obtained the following composition: fat 6.73 % - 11.8 %, protein 4.3 % - 6.9 %, raw fiber 2.6 % - 6.1 % and ash 2.12 % - 3.9 %. The physicochemical characteristics in the crude mango fat showed the following ranges: acid value 0.78 % oleic acid - 1.83 % oleic acid; saponification value 121.77 mg KOH/g - 233.88 mg KOH/g; peroxide value 0.76 meq O2/kg - 3.19 meq O2/kg; iodine value 22.94 g I2/100 g - 32.52 g I2/100 g. The fatty acid profile presented oleic acid (46.46 %) and stearic acid (37.58 %) as the major components. The fat obtained showed no significant content of total phenols. The study showed that edible fat obtained from mango by-products is a viable alternative to enable full use of natural resources as some cultivars presented high yields with a chemical composition that define their application as vegetables fat substitution and also the possibility of new product generation.
