Amino acid profile, physico-chemical properties and fatty acids composition of some fruit seed kernels after detoxification

Abstract Background The use of food processing wastes and by-products, as well the under-utilization agricultural products, have recently received increased attention. Mango, apricot peach are three most significant fruits grown processed in Egypt. Results This work aimed to evaluate amino acid composition, physio-chemical properties fatty acids content mango, apricot, seed kernels after removal antinutritional components. According results, mango kernel flour contained all essential with levels higher than those FAO/WHO reference protein. In addition, total were 28.88, 26.78 36.46 g/100 g protein for flours, respectively. highest value was leucine, while non-essential glutamic All oils showed adequate values peroxide value. main unsaturated oleic linoleic acids. Oleic contents ranged between 41.76% 59.87%. On other hand, varied 5.25% 26.61%. Conclusions by-products that present a novel potential source excellent oil might be used industrial applications reduction matter. As result, detoxified enhance high-value products economical, high-quality sources oil. Graphical
