Abstract
Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L) is one of Indonesian fruit with export commodity due to its sweet-sour andpleasant taste. The pulp of this fruit is frequently consumed freshly, while the seed and peel are removed and become awaste. The chemical components contained in mangosteen’s seed and peel, especially xanthones, have been reported asantioxidants either in vitro or in vivo. Several traditional medicine products used the extracts of mangosteen as one ofits components; therefore, the characterization of mangosteen extracts through identification of its active componentsis very important. This review article highlighted the updates on the characterization and antioxidant activities ofmangosteen’s seed and peel to prove that the wastes of mangosteen fruit could be advantageous to be developed asfunctional food as antioxidants. Several databases have been used during performing this review, including PubMed,Scopus, Biological abstracts, chemical abstracts, and Google Scholar.
