Starch prepared from mango seed kernels is characterized by a low protein and fat content. Infrared studies proved the presence of amine and carboxyl groups of amino acids at wave numbers of 1485 and 1650 cm −1 respectively, whereas the phosphate group had been detected at 1150 cm −1 . The contents of amylose and amylopectin were 39.9 and 60.1 respectively, reducing value was 1.54 and the alkali number was 10.10. The percentage of soluble material associated with starch was 2.11, whereas the percentage of branching of the mango seed kernel starch was 4.23. The glucose residues per end group were 23.62 and those per a segment were 11.81. Corn starch showed approximately the same values, whereas rice starch showed different results. The intrinsic viscosity was 1.72, 1.83 and 1.33 for mango seed kernel, corn and rice starches respectively, and the corresponding “Fodal” factors were 0.947, 0.983, and 0.992. X‐ray analysis indicates that mango seed kernel starch possesses an “A” type of X‐ray diffraction diagram.
