several mangosteen fruit processing companies (Junaidin, Abdullah, & Ridho, 2021). The 
number of mangosteen that is not suitable for export reaches 90% of total production. So, 
the  processing  needs  to  be  encouraged  to  increase  the  added  value  of  mangosteen. 
Currently, mangosteen processed in Indonesia is generally in the form of syrup, juice, and 
puree derived from the pulp, while the peel is processed into syrup or canton powder 
(Yatman, 2012). 
The peel of mangosteen fruit is known to be composed of quite a lot of polyphenol 
compounds,  including  anthocyanins,  xanthones,  tannins,  saponins,  and  phenolic  acid 
compounds. Xanthone, which is abundant in the peel of mangosteen fruit, functions as an 
antioxidant. (Handayani, Suryanto, Siregar, & Efendi, 2015). The largest component of 
all mangosteen fruits is the skin, which is 70-75%, while the pulp is only 10-15% and the 
seeds are 15-20%. The highest xanthone content is found in the peel of mangosteen, 
which is 107.76  mg  per 100  grams  of fruit  peel.  (Aminudin,  Sa’diyah,  Prihastuti,  & 
Kurniasari, 2019). 
In addition to xantone compounds, mangosteen peel also contains anthocyanins. 
Anthocyanins are an important type of flavonoid and have several positive responses for 
the body. (Priska, Peni, Carvallo, & Ngapa, 2018). Anthocyanins and several flavonoids 
are useful in the  health  world as  anticarcinogens, anti-inflammatory, antihepatotoxic, 
antibacterial,  antiviral,  antiallergic,  antithrombotic,  and  as  protection  due  to  damage 
caused by UV radiation and antioxidants. 
One of the things that has not yet been developed is the mangosteen fruit processing 
machine,  especially  the  peeling  of  mangosteen  fruit.  Efforts  to  increase  yields  to  be 
efficient and can increase the capacity of the flour machine, a plan to make a mangosteen 
peel flour machine is needed to help the utilization of mangosteen peel waste. (Mangesa, 
Riwu,  &  Julfikar,  2020).  So  an  idea  was  created  for  the  design  and  manufacture  of 
machines,  especially the design and  construction  of  horizontal-type  mangosteen  fruit 
flour  machines  and  electric  motor  driving  power.  There  is  already  a  Vertical  Type 
Mangosteen Fruit Peel Flour Machine that is made and researched. However, this is still 
not  significant.  (Ningsih,  2021).  More  research  is  needed  related  to  the  shelling  of 
mangosteen fruits. Therefore, this study designed a horizontal-type mangosteen peel flour 
machine. 
 
Research Methods  
The design of a horizontal-type mangosteen peel-blowing machine was made using 
Solidworks  software  and  then  realized  by  making  a  model  of  the  mechanism  and 
prototype of  the machine with  several types  of  construction materials (stainless steel 
plates, etc.). The material used in this study is dried mangosteen peel. The method used 
in  this  study  is  experimental.  The  trial  of  the  horizontal-type  mangosteen  peel  flour 
machine was carried out at the Workshop Laboratory, Faculty of Food Technology and 
Agroindustry, University of Mataram.
