Abstract:
To explore the extraction technology of polysaccharides from Kaite mango processing wastes,the optimal extraction parameters were investigated by using orthogonal array design. The contents of polysaccharide were determinated by anthranone-sulfuric acid. The results showed that the optimum conditions for extracting polysaccharides in peel were as follows:extraction temperature of 70℃,extraction time for 2 hours, liquid-to-solid ratio of 1∶25,and re-extracted 3 times. The polysaccharide yield could reach 6.62 (±0.51)% in peel.For the fruit embryo,the optimum extraction technology was as follows:extraction temperature of 90℃,extraction time for 3 hours,liquid-to-solid ratio of 1∶20 and re-extracted 3 times. The polysaccharide yield was 3.48(±0.40)%. The polysaccharide content in peel was higher than that in embryo. These results suggested that extracts of mango processing wastes had potential value of utilization in polysaccharide industries.
