Nutritional value of mango (Mangifera indica) seeds and peels
The nutritional value of peels and' ~eds' 9f Mango, Mangifera indica was studied by analyzing collected samples of these non conventional feedstuffs for their proximate composition. The result of the analysis shows that moisture ranged from 9.70 to 10.48% (peels) and 9.50 to 10.48% (seeds). Protein ranged from 4.08 to 4.49% (peels) and 5.38 to 8.10% (seeds). Carbohydrate was 49.35 to 62.45% (peels) and 53.64 to 70.58%' (seeds). Fat ranged from 3.98 to 6.30% (peels) and 8.30 to 12.80% (seeds. Ash content ranged from 2.20 to 4.98% (peels) and 2.00 to 3.70% (seeds). The values for the proximate parameters of the peels and seeds were comparable to values reported for other non convectional feedstuffs. The seeds of ti1'ango had higher values than peels.
