Garcinia parvifolia belongs to the same family as mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana), which is known locally in Sabah as "asam kandis" or cherry mangosteen. The present study was conducted to determine the phytochemicals content (total phenolic, flavonoid, anthocyanin, and carotenoid content) and antioxidant and acetylcholinesterase inhibition activity of the flesh and peel of G. parvifolia. All ...

ABSTRACT: The genetic improvement of a plant to produce high-yielding varieties depends on variability. It is widely known that the mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) does not have variability because it has an apomictic reproductive mechanism. Analysis diversity can be carried out by analysis similarities and clusters between accessions plants or with their close relatives Garcinia genus. Thi...

The aim of this study was to prepare electrospun chitosan-based nanofiber mats and to incorporate the fruit hull of Garcinia mangostana (GM) extracts into the mats. Chitosan-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid/polyvinyl alcohol (CS-EDTA/PVA) was selected as the polymers. The GM extracts with 1, 2 and 3 wt% α-mangostin were incorporated into the CS-EDTA/PVA solution and electrospun to obtain nanofib...

The objective of this study was to identify the major antioxidative components present in the peel of rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum), mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) and langsat (Lansium domesticum). The identification and quantification of the major antioxidative components were performed using high performance liquid chromatography at 254 nm. The results showed that ellagic acid and corilagi...

The mangosteen peel contains phenol compounds that have antifungal activity. study aimed to find out the activity in dosage form of toothpaste against Candida albicans. research methods used include extraction (Garcinia mangostana L.) by maceration using 96% ethanol. formula was composed with an extract concentration 1.25% (F1); 2.5% (F2); 5% (F3); and base (B). Antifungal testing carried diffu...

Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) is a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia that produces a fruit whose pericarp contains a family of tricyclic isoprenylated polyphenols referred to as xanthones. Numerous in vitro studies have shown that these xanthones possess anti-oxidant, anti-proliferative, pro-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic activities. Aggressive marketing of such h...
