Abstract: Natural pigment
recently have interest to explore to reduce synthetic chemical effect for
organism and environment. Mangostine (Garcinia mangostana L) is one of tropical
fruit that have peel strong pigment, thus potent as new natural pigmen.
Solvents including water, ethanol and methanol applied to extract mangostine
peel pigment. The best solvent determined by measuring pigment filtrate using
spectrophotometer. The highest absorbance data indicated the best solvent, i.e.
more extract yielded by this solvent. The optimum concentration of the solvent
for best extraction also investigated with the same procedure above, and
finally the natural pigment obtained identified using paper chromatography. The
best solvent investigated for extraction was ethanol at concentration 70%. The
pigment extracted from mangostine peel proposed as pellargonidine 3-glycoside
group of anthocyanin
