Hamid M. A., Bakar N. A., Park C. S., Ramli F., Wan W. R., 2018, Optimisation of Alpha Mangostin Extraction Using Supercritical CO2 from Garcinia Mangostana, Chemical Engineering Transactions, 63, 577-582.
This study is designed to optimise the extraction of a mangostin using supercritical carbon dioxide. The extraction parameters were optimised by Box Behnken Design (BBD) with 17-run experiments. The maximum yield of a mangostin is 58.7 wt% under optimum conditions as follows: extraction pressure of 20.01 MPa, thetemperature of 46.25 °C and percentage of co-solvent at 2.9 % of ethanol. To date, this is the first reportdepicting the optimisation of a mangostin from the pericarp of Garcinia Mangostana Linn using supercriticalcarbon dioxide.
