Chemical composition and antioxidant studies of underutilized part of mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) fruit. Journal of Applied Pharmaceutical Science. 2019 Aug; 2019 Aug: 047-0522231-3354http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/210423Mangosteen (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.Mangosteen’s peelantiradicalunderutilized partin vitro antioxidantsxanthonesDPPH.Journal ArticleIndiaDepartment of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta, IndonesiaDepartment of Chemistry, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Bogor Agricultural University, Kampus IPB Dramaga, Bogor, Indonesia.Faculty of Pharmacy, Hasanuddin University, Makassar, Indonesia.Department of Pharmaceutical Analysis and Medicinal Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Padjadjaran, Sumedang, Indonesia.Research Unit for Natural Product Technology (BPTBA), Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI), Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
