Abstract: Three varieties of mangoes (Mangifera indica) namely; Adansonia digitata (Durshea) big seed, Durio zubethinus murr (Peter) middle seeded, Foetide lour (Julie) collected within Kaduna metropolis were subjected to proximate analysis. Analysis of the nutritional and anti-nutritional contents of the three varieties of mangoes revealed that moisture content, crude protein, carbohydrate, crude fat, ash content and vitamin c were 79.17, 1.97, 7.16, 1.89, 9.81 and 34.12% respectively for Durshea variety. The findings … Show more

“…It shows that the mango peel has a vitamin C content of 9.86 mg Ascorbic Acid Equivalent (AAE)/g. This was higher than the value reported by previous researchers for peeled whole mango fruit Sarkiyayi et al (2013). reported 34.1 mg/100g on the average for three different mango fruit in Kaduna, Nigeria.…”

“…Mango is used as food in all stages of its development. Green or unripe mango contains a very high portion of starch which gradually changes into glucose, sucrose and maltose as the fruit begins to ripen and disappears completely when the fruit is fully ripened (Sarkiyayi et al, 2013). Nutritionally, mango peel contains moisture 68.50%, protein 2.05%, ash 2.62%, fibre 5.40% and carbohydrates 26.50% and has an energy content of 453.92 kJ/100g (Imran et al, 2013).…”
