Effect of Drying Temperature and Time on Antioxidant and Total Phenolic Content in Garcinia mangostana Pericarp

Abstract:

Garcinia mangostana is found to contain many antioxidants especially in the pericarp. During extraction process, antioxidant stability and phenolic content in the Garcinia mangostana was depended on the temperature applied during drying process as well as the type of solvent used. Therefore, it is important to know the temperature and the most suitable solvent used in order to maintain the stability of antioxidant and total phenolic content in the Garcinia mangostana pericarp. The purpose of this study is focused on the effect of extraction solvent and drying temperature on the antioxidant stability and total phenolic content in Garcinia mangostana pericarp. Three (3) types of solvent used in the extraction process were methanol, ethanol and distilled water. The effect of thermal on antioxidant stability was investigated by drying the Garcinia mangostana pericarp at temperature of 50°C, 60°C and 70°C for 3 to 24 hours. From this study, it is found that the best solvent used for extraction was methanol and the best condition for drying temperature is at 55.13°C for 3 hours. Results from this study are important in Garcinia mangostana pericarp preservation, shelf-life, and improvements of the quality.
