The values obtained by FRAP assay were lower than those obtained
by ABTS or DPPH methods but the pattern was similar
(Fig. 2c). FRAP values varied from 41 to 81 m mol TE/g db for the dried mango powder.
. Drying techniques were shown to have a
significant impact on FRAP values of powders (p 0.05). Soong and
Barlow (2004) reported mango cubes had antioxidant activity of
36.6 m mol/g db, ascorbic acid equivalent, using FRAP assay. Mango
pulp from green and ripe fruit showed FRAP value of 16.42 and
15.30 m mol TE/g db, respectively (Aziz et al. 2012). Our data on
antioxidant activity for mango powder were comparable to those
reported previously.
