Análisis físico químico del mango

Abstract

Ecuador as among other Latin American countries are dedicated to the cultivation and marketing of mango, in this project we will be guided according to the established by the Ecuadorian INEN standards and international standards, which gives us to know all the methods that apply to the analysis of mango, which are the potential of hydrogen (pH), titratable acidity and Brix degrees, in order to verify that this within the parameters established for consumption, ensuring product quality that is suitable for consumption and not causing side effects or discomfort to people who consume it. The mango is of Indian origin, is considered a tropical fruit that has a color, aroma and flavor characteristic of it, contains many nutritional benefits for health in which it is highly recommended in the diets of some patients with diabetes, high cholesterol and triglycerides, hypertension and overweight. In Ecuador, mango is a non-traditional fruit, but with high export demands. In the present work a bibliographic investigation was carried out in which the results of other scientific articles were compared with the established norms, in which it is made known which are subject to the parameters that the norms establish.
