Virgin coconut oil (VCO) was used as co-extractant with supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) extraction for obtaining xanthones from mangosteen pericarp (MP) without organic co-solvents. In each experiment, 120 g of dried MP that had median particle sizes of 0.85 mm was used. Extraction of MP with 4...
