The novelty of this work is the use of two mango by-products, mango peel and kernel, to obtain an extruded food. As well as the development of this food through a design of mixtures, we conducted sensorial analysis of the food through a hedonic test, in order not only to develop an extruded food with mango by-products, but also to develop a food that will be accepted by the consumer. A simple lattice mixture design was carried out with 14 mixtures, where the components were white corn flour (WCF), mango peel flour (MPF) and mango kernel flour (MKF), both from the Tommy Atkins mango variety. Physical and chemical properties such as the expansion index (EI), hardness, water absorption index (WAI), water solubility index (WSI), total phenols, DPPH and ABTS were evaluated. An optimization region was found that included 3 design points. Mixtures 1, 6 and 12 were evaluated using a nine-point hedonic scale to determine the acceptability of the product. Appearance, taste, and texture of the extrudates was evaluated. The extrudate with the best overall acceptability and the optimum physical and chemical properties contained 58.33% white corn flour, 33.33% mango peel flour and 8.33% mango kernel flour.
