Abstract: The mango processing results into 20-40% waste, therefore; this study was designed to characterize mango processing waste (MPW) from different cultivars. The Cryogenic Ball mill was used to obtain mango seed kernel powder (MSKP) and mango peel powder (MPP) followed by particle size distribution. The particle size and fineness modulus of all samples ranged from 0.35-0.48 mm and 2.87-4.03 respectively. In MSKP, Chausa had the lowest bulk density (602.08±0.018 g/cm3). However, the same variety showed highest bulk density (661.76±0.015 g/cm3) for MPP. The titratable acidity analysis revealed the maximum value (2.35±0.185 %) of MSKP (Dashehari) is same as that of MPP’s (Barahmasi) minimum value. During analysis, Duncan’s multiple range test revealed significant difference between all MPP varieties for OBC (oil binding capacity) except between Langra and Dashehari. The food industries may take the opportunity to recover and utilize the valuable compounds from agricultural by-products which in turn ensures environmental safety.
