Food waste has a significant environmental impact, with peels and seeds standing out for their content of bioactive compounds of industrial interest. Mango (Mangifera indica L.), one of the most widely cultivated tropical fruits globally, produces seeds with high valorization potential. This study analyzed the antibacterial activity of the ethanolic extract from sugar mango seeds against Escherichia coli, achieving 75% inhibition. The findings support its therapeutic potential and its application in the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industries. However, further research is essential to deepen its physicochemical characterization and conduct complementary biological studies.
