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.
