“…Pulp of unripe mango is characterized by containing starch (BelloPe´rez, Ottenhof, Agama-Acevedo, & Farhat, 2005;Kaur, Singh, Singh-Sandhu, & Singh-Guraya, 2004). TS content in the fibre concentrate was of 29.8 g/100 g dry sample (Table 2); such a high starch level that could contribute to the formation of resistant starch (RS) during processing of MDF-based products, as it has been shown in mango starch extrudates (Agustiniano-Osornio et al, 2005). Total dietary fibre (TDF) content in MDF was 28.1 g/100 g dry sample (Table 2), which is close to levels measured in antioxidant DF preparations from guava (48-49 g/100 g dry sample) (Jime´nez-Escrig, Jime´nez-Escrig, Rinco´n, Pulido, & Saura-Calixto, 2001), although notably lower than TDF contents reported in grape skins (54.1-64.6 g/100 g dry sample) (Bravo & SauraCalixto, 1998;Saura-Calixto, 1998), citrus peel (57 g/100 g dry sample) (Chau & Huang, 2003), in fibre from two Mexican lime peels (66.7 and 70.4 g/100 g dry sample) (Ubando et al, 2005) and in mango peel fibre (65-71 g/ 100 g dry sample) (Larrauri et al, 1996).…”
