The Floridian mango varieties Kent and Palmer, two of the exported varieties also used to produce dried mango, mango juice and jam, and three other varieties locally called: «Tête de chat», «Bouche longue» and «Mademoiselle» and translated in English as «Cat Head», «Long Mouth» and «Miss», were selected on the market and used for experiments. The mass of the pit, skin and pulp of each variety was determined by weighing. The operation was carried out on several ripe mangoes of each variety and the mass ratios of the pit and skins were determined. The ratios of a variety are used to predict the potential waste products (pit and skin) that can be produced by that variety. As results, the studied varieties Kent, Palmer, Cat Head, Miss and Long Mouth, have a mass percentage of waste (pit + skin), 5.93%, 14.00%, 22.69%, 14.60% and 18.00%, respectively, with an average value of 15.04%. According to the available data on Ivorian mango production, which, according to the sources, is between 140,000 and 150,000 tonnes or between 180,000 and 200,000 tonnes of mangoes per year, the resulting amount of waste would be between 21,056 and 22,560 or between 27,072 and 30,000 tonnes, respectively. This amount of waste could contribute to Ivory Coast ‘s energy mix if converted into energy.

Abstract
The Floridian mango varieties Kent and Palmer, two of the exported varieties also used to produce dried mango, mango juice and jam, and three other varieties locally called: «Tête de chat», «Bouche longue» and «Mademoiselle» and translated in English as «Cat Head», «Long Mouth» and «Miss», were selected on the market and used for experiments. The mass of the pit, skin and pulp of each variety was determined by weighing. The operation was carried out on several ripe mangoes of each variety and the mass ratios of the pit and skins were determined. The ratios of a variety are used to predict the potential waste products (pit and skin) that can be produced by that variety. As results, the studied varieties Kent, Palmer, Cat Head, Miss and Long Mouth, have a mass percentage of waste (pit + skin), 5.93%, 14.00%, 22.69%, 14.60% and 18.00%, respectively, with an average value of 15.04%. According to the available data on Ivorian mango production, which, according to the sources, is between 140,000 and 150,000 tonnes or between 180,000 and 200,000 tonnes of mangoes per year, the resulting amount of waste would be between 21,056 and 22,560 or between 27,072 and 30,000 tonnes, respectively. This amount of waste could contribute to Ivory Coast ‘s energy mix if converted into energy.
