Abstract: The present invention discloses a mangosteen pericarp extract and process for its preparation thereof. The mangosteen pericarp extract containing ?-mangostin and ?-mangostin which obtains from preparation steps comprising fragmentation, organic solvent soaking, aqueous solution, or acidic solution soaking, concentration, spray drying and grinding steps from the rind of the mangosteen. The present invention has advantages of simple preparation process to address efficiency issue, no need to have heating under reflux in extraction steps and the solvents which used are friendly to human body and environment. The mangosteen pericarp extract (?-Xones Prime) can significantly decrease insulin resistance, and bodyweight gain induced by daily high fat diet intake. In addition, administration of the mangosteen pericarp ethanolic extract can reduce fat accumulation in the adipose and muscle tissue of rats with daily high fat diet intake.

The present invention has advantages of simple preparation process to address efficiency issue, no need to have heating under reflux in extraction steps and the solvents which used are friendly to human body and environment. The mangosteen pericarp hydrophilic extract (?-Xones Aqua Choice) inhibits intracellular melanin production, and cellular tyrosinase activity. Mangosteen pericarp hydrophilic extract could be used as a cosmic composition for skin while, or even prevention of hyperpigmentation, as well as could be developed into a candidate drug composition for therapy of hyperpigmentation.

Abstract: A Garcinia mangostana composition, a medication and a health food including the same for enhancing learning ability and memory of a patient with Alzheimer's disease are provided. The Garcinia mangostana composition includes G. mangostana and P. quinquefolius. The net weight ratio of the G. mangostana to the P. quinquefolius ranges from 4:1 to 1:16. A total of 4.5 to 35 mg of G. mangostana is per kilogram bodyweight applied, and 9 to 70 mg of P. quinquefolius per kilogram bodyweight is applied. The G. mangostana composition is capable of reducing the neuronal cell death and increasing the neurite length of the subjects with Alzheimer's disease, as well as improving the short term memory and the long term memory of the test subjects.
