Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram-negative bacterium having one or more thin layers of peptidoglycan and membranes separated outside the peptidoglycan layer. Mangosteen peel extract inhibits the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Since the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria is nonacidic and thin, antibacterial compounds such as those found in mangosteen peel extract can affect it. The purpose of this study is to standardize the processing and concentration of mangosteen essential oil for use in Philippine native chickens infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In the study, mangosteen peel was soaked at various water temperatures. With condenser temperatures of -5oC, -10oC, and -15oC, the water bath temperature were 55oC, 60oC, and 65oC. In the experimental treatments for minimum inhibitory concentration, virgin coconut oil and mangosteen essential oil are used at various ratios. . .
