Subjective Evaluation of Cotton Fabric Stiffened with Mango Kernel Starch

摘要

Cultivated in many tropical regions and distributed widely in the world mango is one of the most extensively exploited fruits for food, juice, flavor, fragrance and color and a common ingredient in new functional foods often called super fruits. After consumption or industrial processing of the fruits, considerable amounts of mango seeds are discarded as waste. Mango seed consists of a tenacious coat enclosing the kernel which contains crude protein, oil, ash, crude fiber, and carbohydrate. This paper describes the use of mango kernel starch on cotton and its subjective evaluation.
