Abstract
Mango (Mangifera Indica.L) is the national fruit of India. Peels and seeds are the by products obtained during processing of mango. The Mango seed possess disposal problem if not handled properly therefore conversion of mango seed kernel to starch is the solution of this problem. Starch is used in food and pharmaceutical industry. These industries depend on crops that are the primary source of food for the human thus raising the food prices. Unlike the conventional method of producing starch, this method totally uses raw waste. The report showed the maximum yield of starch was 59.06 percent, the amylose content 16.3 percent and ash content between 0.12 to 0.15 percent. The purity of the starch obtained was 97.18 percent when compared to market starch which was 92.59 percent. Thus, it can be concluded that the starch obtained from mango seed kernel can be used in food industry.
