SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE: Chairman: (Prof. Dr. Masood Sadiq Butt) Member: (Prof. Dr. Faqir Muhammad Anjum) Member: (Prof. Dr. Javed Iqbal Sultan) Dedicated To Hazrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) & MY FATHER (Late) Khadim Hussain DECLARATION I hereby declare that the contents of the thesis, studies on “Characterization of mango peel mangiferin to elucidate its nutraceutical potential” are the product of my own research and no part has been copied from any published source (expect the references, standard mathematical or genetic models/equations/formulas/protocols etc). I, further, declare that this work has not been submitted for the award of any other diploma/degree. The university may take action if the information provided found inaccurate at any stage. (In case of any default the scholar will be proceeded against as per HEC plagiarism policy). Muhammad Imran ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I feel myself inept to regard the Highness of Almighty ALLAH, my words have lost their expressions, knowledge is lacking and lexis scarce to express gratitude in the rightful manner to the blessings and support of Allah the Almighty who flourished my ambitions and helped me to attain goals. I present my humble gratitude from the deep sense of heart to the Holy Prophet MUHAMMAD that without him the life would have been worthless. I have no words to express my gratitude to my honorable supervisor Prof. Dr. Masood Sadiq Butt, National Institute of Food Science and Technology, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad for his diligent cooperation and scrupulous support during the entire degree program. I expand my deepest appreciation and benedictions to Prof. Dr. Faqir Muhammad Anjum (T.I), Director General, National Institute of Food Science and Technology, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad for her great help. I also express my appreciation to Dr. Javed Iqbal Sultan, Professor, Institute of Animal Nutrition and Feed Technology for his compassionate attitude and valued suggestions. I am also obliged to Dr. Emilie Combet, Department of Human Nutrition, College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences, Life Course Nutrition and Science, University of Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom and her team for their tremendous support. I want pay my gratitude to Higher Education Commission (HEC), Pakistan for its support and encouragement to complete my task. I am grateful to HEC for providing me financial assistance in the form of indigenous scholarship and an esteemed opportunity of six month foreign training (IRSIP) to expand my erudite exposure. I extend my obligations to my loving mother, sisters and brothers, without their moral and financial support, I wouldn’t have been at this position today. Lastly, I am also thankful to my friends and colleagues for their valuable critical discussions and endorsing support throughout research work and motivating me at times.
