In this study, preparation and characterization of mango peel dietary fibre were investigated. Fresh mango peels, obtained as a byproduct of syrup production, were successively wet-milled, washed with water and dried. A peel particle size of 15 mm in wet milling and a washing time of 5 min were found to remove soluble sugars and to increase total polyphenols and soluble dietary fibre content. Mango peel dietary fibre contained high amounts of total extractable polyphenols (70 g/kg) and soluble dietary fibre (281 g/kg) and had a high water-holding capacity (11.4 g/g dry matter). These characteristics indicated that mango peel is a good source of tropical fruit fibre.
