Mango Enzyme DIY! Abandoned Mango Peels And Mango Seeds Are Transformed Into Products To Help Gastrointestinal Digestion And Whitening

Taiwan not only has the famous mango ice, but the discarded mango peel has also been developed into an enzyme product that can improve digestion. Mango seeds have extracted "mangiferin", which is more effective than arbutin for whitening, and a resistant starch product that helps in weight management. . However, I would like to remind everyone that mango peel enzymes can be made by yourself, but mango seeds contain cyanic acid toxicity, so do not cook and drink by yourself!

The most famous mango ice is the peel and seeds turned into gold

The mango ice made from Taiwan's sweet Aiwen mango is not only popular among the locals, but also attracts Japanese cherry blossom girls and Korean kimchi girls to make pilgrimages, while the rest Mango peels and mango seeds cost 4.5 million yuan per thousand metric tons in waste treatment. Chen Ruirong, deputy director of the Science and Technology Division of the Agriculture Committee, said that they cooperated with National Chiayi University and the Fengshan Branch of the Agricultural Research Institute to develop the application technology of mango peel fermentation and the application technology of mango seed value-added application, which not only reduces waste, but also increases additional worth 9 million.

Peel Enzymes Improve Intestinal Function

When mangoes are processed, about 40% of the mango meat product is produced, while wastes such as mango peels and mango seeds account for about 60%. Chen Ruirong said that the Chiayi University team developed fermentation liquid and enzyme powder products using mango peels as raw materials. These products can improve intestinal function. Currently, they have developed tablets, powders, and capsules. The whole process can be Technology transfer.

The whitening effect of mango plant extract is better than that of arbutin

In terms of mango seeds, the Fengshan branch of the Agricultural Research Institute breaks through the traditional use of alcohol extract.Due to the high cost of extraction technology, water extraction can extract mangiferin, which has a better whitening effect than arbutin. Yang Shuhui, associate researcher and director of the Department of Management and Utilization of the institute, said that mango seeds can be extracted from "mango plant extract", which is rich in arbutin and ellagic acid, which are skin care and whitening ingredients; mango kernel oil can be used for skin care; and resistant starch is a healthy weight. The popular products under management can be technically transferred to biotech food companies for production and processing.

Mango seeds contain cyanide toxins and cannot be eaten

However, Yang Shuhui reminded that many people have asked how to make tea or grind them into powder at home when they heard about the "specific control effect of mango seeds". edible? But doing so is actually dangerous. First, because the mango seed shell has a hard skin that needs to be removed technically, mango seed kernels contain cyanic acid, which is toxic like almonds. Cut and boil at home to eat, be careful of the danger of poisoning.

DIY mango peel enzyme at home

Mango peel enzyme can be DIY at home. Yang Shuhui reminded that it is best to choose organic cultivation for homemade enzymes, or mango peels whose pesticides have passed the half-life and are toxic and degraded. Wash off the dirt on the peel to avoid agricultural residues, then wash it with cold water, drain and put it in a sterilized bottle, add boiled cold water to cover the peel, add sugar or honey and mix thoroughly, then cover the bottle Seal it well and do not open the lid until the fermentation bubbles appear. After seeing the bubbles, open the lid to let the air in. You can open the lid 2 or 3 times a day and then seal it again. It will take about 3 to 4 days for the fermentation to be good if the room temperature is above 30 degrees Celsius, and it will take 5 to 7 days if it is lower than 30 degrees Celsius. The fermented liquid can be stored in the refrigerator for 1 month, drink a cup every dayAids in digestion.
