Environmental factors, such as soil height, plant age, conditions, maintenance, and seeds influence the content of secondary metabolites in an organism. The growing conditions can also affect active compounds plants. Xanthone is compound Garcinia mangostana Linn. One its derivatives α-mangostin, which has antioxidant, anticancer, antituberculosis antihistamine effects. This study aimed to deter...

This data article describes the flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) responses, represented by changes in arterial diameter, and blood pressure changes in young adults after a single oral dose of camu camu (Myrciaria dubia) pericarp extract or placebo (cross-over design). Ten healthy men and 10 healthy women participated in this study. Ultrasonic diagnostic equipment was used to monitor arterial di...

Phytotherapies have offered alternative sources of therapy for migraine and gained much importance in prophylactic treatment. Sapindus trifoliatus is a medium-sized deciduous tree growing wild in south India that belongs to the family Sapindaceae. The pericarp is reported for various medicinal properties. A thick aqueous solution of the pericarp is used for the treatment of hemicrania, hysteria...

The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of pectinase on prebiotic activity and bioactive compounds of enzymatically depolymerized Thailand-grown mangosteen aril. It was found that after varying enzyme concentration in 0-3.0% (v/w), mangosteen aril treated with enzyme concentration of 2.5% (v/w) and hydrolyzed for 0, 1, 2, 4 and 6 h can be hydrolyzed at 5 different levels of reduc...

The objectives of this study were to determine the molecular weight of condensed tannins (CT) extracted from mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L) peel, its protein binding affinity and effects on fermentation parameters including total gas, methane (CH4) and volatile fatty acids (VFA) production. The average molecular weight (Mw) of the purified CT was 2,081 Da with a protein binding affinity of ...

In this study, we investigated seed and auxin regulation of gibberellin (GA) biosynthesis in pea (Pisum sativum L.) pericarp tissue in situ, specifically the conversion of [14C]GA19 to [14C]GA20. [14C]GA19 metabolism was monitored in pericarp with seeds, deseeded pericarp, and deseeded pericarp treated with 4-chloroindole-3-acetic acid (4-CI-IAA). Pericarp with seeds and deseeded pericarp treat...

Abstract Porang flour is a rich source of glucomannan, while mangosteen peel contains antibacterial and antioxidant compounds. Both these materials can be combined in making edible films which applied for environmentally friendly food packaging. The addition plasticizer, such as sorbitol, expected to provide the elasticity properties resulting film. This study aimed evaluate film made from gluc...

This study was designed to determine the antiproliferative, apoptotic and antioxidative properties of crude methanolic extract (CME) from the pericarp of Garcinia mangostana (family Guttiferae) using human breast cancer (SKBR3) cell line as a model system. SKBR3 cells were cultured in the presence of CME at various concentrations (0-50 microg/ml) for 48 h and the percentage of cell viability wa...
