Abstract

Mangosteen pericarp color indicates antioxidant activity relating to the concentration of phenolics and flavonoids. The extract moderately inhibited Bacilus subtilis and was found to be stable at a concentration of 1.0 mg/mL at pH 3 at 23 °C over 7 d. Mangosteen pericarp extracts can therefore be used in pharmaceutical products that require low to medium pH.
