CARACTERÍSTICAS FISICOQUÍMICAS DE LA GRASA DE SEMILLA DE VEINTE CULTIVARES DE MANGO (Mangifera indica L.) EN COLOMBIA

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;...
