This study was performed to extract, identify and determine the natural pigments in Balady mango wastes. The study also aimed at utiliz­ing the separated natural pigments in coloring both fat base foods (but­ter) and water base-foods (ice cream). The obtained results reveal that it was successful and economic to separate natural pigments from Bala­dy mango wastes. These natural pigments were carotenoids (5.6 g/ 1009 of Balady mango wastes, on dry weights basis). It was also ascertained that 8-carotene was the predominant fraction among the seven fractions of carotenoids identified by thin layer chromatography. The results indicated the possibility and suitabili­ty of utilizing the separated natural pigments in coloring fat base foods i.e. butter and water base foods such as ice cream instead of the artifi­cel colorants which proved to be harmful to the human health.
