Editores: Fernando Gomes de Souza Junior, Romildo Dias Toledo Filho, Sabu Thomas.  aThe global awareness with environmental and sustainable issues has increased the demand for bio-based and/or biodegradable products. Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) has attracted much attention as biocompatible and biodegradable thermoplastic with potential application in agriculture, marine and medicine fields. PHBV is an aliphatic polyester produced by bacteria in the form of intracellular granules as reserve material of carbon and energy. PHBV-based biocomposites are investigated in order to improve PHBV thermal and mechanical properties and to reduce its production cost [1]. Brazil is one of the eight largest producers of mango in the world. However, mango´sagribusiness generates a large amount of by-products (peels and seeds), which represents approximately 40-60% of total weight of the fruit [2,3].  aBiocomposites  aFood technology  aMangoes  aSeeds  aManga  aSemente  aTecnologia de Alimento  aPHBv1 aCARDOS, P.
