Method development for solvent extraction of pigment from mangosteen skins / Wan Khalil Jalaludin
The attractive color of mangosteen skins has attracted researchers to commercialize the natural source of colorant. Anthocyanin is one of the pigments in the mangosteen skin. The objective of this study is to develop an efficient and selective method for pigment extraction from mangosteen skin. This...
