This study aims to evaluate the effect of different solvents and extraction time on total xanthone and antioxidant yield of mangosteen peel extract. The research was conducted by extracting mangosteen peel using seven solvents: Ethanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, methanol, hexane, acetic acid, and aquadest at different times: 24, 36, and 48 h. Total xanthone was examined using visible UV spectrophotometer at the particular wavelength, and antioxidant yield was observed from the extract and then dried using rotary evaporator and freeze dryer. The result reported that the solvents and extraction time significantly (P < 0.01) affected total xanthone and antioxidant yield. Mangosteen peel extracted by acetone shows the best results on total xanthone at 48 h. Meanwhile, mangosteen peel extracted by ethanol for 24 h was the best result on antioxidant yield. Total xanthone levels and antioxidant yield are affected by solvents and extraction time. Total xanthone levels were best found at long extraction times, while the best levels of antioxidant yield were found at short extraction times. Acetone and ethanol solvents which have medium polarity index (5.1 and 5.2, respectively) show the highest levels of total xanthone and best antioxidant yield compared to other treatments. © 2018 JPR Solutions.
