effectively preserve this fruit while offering expanded usage in
different food products. The method of drying can have a negative
impact on quality; for example, hot air drying was shown to have
negative effect on the antioxidant properties of mango (Dorta,
Lobo, & Gonzalez, 2012b). Currently, mango slices are dried by
dipping in sugar for marketing as a snack product; however, presently,
dried mangoes for use in various food applications are not
available commercially. The objective of this study was to evaluate
different methods for drying mango and evaluate the antioxidant
and functional properties of dried mangoes powders.
