Three cutivars of mango viz; Amrapali, Dashehari, Mallika and one seedling mango were evaluated for production of foam mat dried powder. Initially, physico-chemical properties were determined. Mango Pulp of different cultivars was foamed by carboxy -methyl - cellulose (CMC) at different concentrations 0, 1.0 and 2.0% followed by drying in tray drier for preparation of instant mango powder. Out of different concentrations, use of 2% carboxy methyl cellulose in each variety was found the most appropriate for foaming of mango pulp on the basis of foaming properties (foam density, foam expansion and foam stability), physico-chemical and sensory attributes . Among different cutivars, the yield of dried powder varied from 13.72 -15.10 %. By using different concentrations of foaming agent, Dried mango powders contained 80.50-83.70 °B TSS, 0.94-1.53 % titratable acidity, 4.00-4.79 pH, 5.50-6.19 % moisture content, 4.50-4.65 % ash content, 40.95-48.62 % reducing sugars, 73.99-80.05 % total sugars and 11.77 to 12.49 mg/100g total carotenoids.
