Sensory evaluation and in vitro prebiotic effect of (poly)phenols and dietary fiber-rich mango bagasse-enriched confections.

Mango bagasse (MB) is a (poly)phenols and fiber (DF)-rich agroindustrial by-product exhibiting health-beneficial properties. This research aimed to design and characterize an MB-added confection and evaluate its prebiotic effect in vitro. A sensory analysis involving 51 children was conducted to select the most accepted formulation.
