HERNANDEZ-VARELA, Josué; MONCAYO, Arturo; FERNANDEZ, Viluzca e SULBARAN, Betzabé. Antioxidant activity in mango fruit leather (Mangifera indica). Rev. Soc. Quím. Perú [online]. 2013, vol.79, n.2, pp.175-177. ISSN 1810-634X.
A way to concentrate the nutritional properties of the fruit is through the development of fruit leathers, which are made by drying a very thin layer of mashed fruit to obtain a product with a soft texture. This study evaluated the antioxidant activity and total polyphenol content in fruit leathers of mango cv. Tommy Atkints grown in Mara municipality, Zulia state. The antioxidant activity of the fruit leathers was 0,38±0,02 mM TROLOX/100g y 81,57±0,76 vitamin C/100g. The total polyphenol content in the leathers was 76,81±2,67 mg GAE/100g. The fruit leathers provide a greater amount of total polyphenolic compounds which is an alternative way of consuming antioxidant compounds and nutritious diet.
