The major constituents are mostly found in the pericarp particularly, xanthones, which are tricyclic isoprenylated polyphenols. Xanthones have been reported for its anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-proliferative, proapoptotic and anti-carcinogenic activities. In this study, the mangosteen pericarps in various maturity levels were investigated using various characterization techniques such as PSA (Particle Size Analyzer), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and X-ray Fluorescence (XRF). The results revealed the characteristic of mangosteen at various maturity levels. © 2018, Informatics Publishing Limited. All rights reserved.
