The aim of this study was to observe the behavior of quality parameters of a fried snack made from mango (Manguifera indica L.), using vacuum on a base of mango pulp and starch, in their preparation. The frying process was carried out using different vacuum pressures (0.4, 0.5, 0.6 bar), temperatures (100, 110 and 120 °C) and times (30, 45, 60, 75 and 90s.) The results showed that the vacuum improves the quality characteristics of the snacks, finding a fat and very low humidity contents, lower water activity, and texture, according to market products and a small color variation with respect to paste color. The best treatment was to 0.5 bar, 110 °C y 90s of immersion time.
