==Source== The rind of partially ripe mangosteen fruit yields mangostin and also the related compound β-mangostin. Researchers conducted optimizations to increase the yield of α-mangostin extraction from the pericarp of the mangosteen and were able to achieve 9.2 g/kg DW. The rind of fully ripe fruits also contains the xanthonoids gartanin, 8-disoxygartanin, and normangostin.
