Abstract
The peels of ripe mango (mangnifera indica) fruits were hydrolyzed with 4.5M hydrochloric acid solution and distilled. The distillates were tested for furfural using volumetric, UV/visible and IR spectroscopic methods in addition to other physicochemical parameters. The UV/visible and IR scans and the other tests confirm the presence of furfural. The result also show good yield of furfural. Keywords; Furfural, production, mangnifera indica, hydrolysis.
