Recovery and partial isolation of ⍺-mangostin from mangosteen pericarpsvia sequential extraction and precipitation.

ABSTRACT: This study introduced an innovative sequential extraction methodology designed for the efficient recovery of alpha-mangostin (⍺-M) from mangosteen pericarps. Alpha-mangostin, renowned for its pharmacological properties including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-bacterial effects, has garnered significant attention across diverse industries. The proposed method of sequential extraction achieved 73% recovery and a yield of 46.75 mg/g based on the weight/weight percentage of the mass of ⍺-M extracted from the sequence and the mass of raw material. Furthermore, the purity of the dried product was 67.9%. The sequence solvent extraction system, comprising water, hexane, and acetonitrile, plays a pivotal role in enhancing the efficacy of the extraction process. Notably, this methodology o
