Feedstock for Xanthone

The feedstock involved in the production of Xanthone is Mangosteen Waste. Mangosteen waste is directly linked to the availability of mangosteen fruit. The fruit is seasonal, with peak harvest periods in tropical countries, such as Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Seasonal variations or fluctuations in crop yields can significantly impact the sourcing of mangosteen waste. Fluctuations in demand for products derived from mangosteen waste, such as natural dyes, activated carbon, biochar, nutraceuticals, and cosmetic ingredients, also greatly impact its pricing and sourcing decisions.

The sourcing of mangosteen waste can also be impacted by supply chain challenges. Mangosteen waste is highly perishable and degrades rapidly due to its high moisture content and microbial activity, if not handled properly. Thus, the need for rapid transportation or temperature-controlled storage (e.g., cold chains) also plays a significant role in determining sourcing strategies for Mangosteen Waste. Additionally, the growing trend toward sustainability and the circular economy also impacts sourcing strategies for many types of agricultural waste, including mangosteen waste.
 

Market Drivers for Xanthone

The primary factor that drives the demand for Xanthone is its application as a building block for drug development and manufacturing various therapeutic agents, which contributes to its market growth. Its utilization as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent in manufacturing various drugs for treating inflammation-related diseases and neurological disorders further enhances its demand in the pharmaceutical industry.

Its application as an additive in the fortification of various health-conscious food and beverage products also fuels its demand in the food and beverage industry. Its application as an antioxidant component in the formulation of skin health and oral care products also contributes to its demand in the cosmetics and personal care industries. Its involvement as a precursor in manufacturing chemical compounds like xanthydrol and biopesticides as an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic chemicals also promotes its demand in the chemical and agriculture sectors.

Xanthone is primarily derived from natural sources, such as the Xanthone family of plants, or synthesized through chemical processes. The availability of raw materials, such as the specific plant extracts like Mangosteen, or precursor chemicals used in its synthesis, directly affects production and procurement strategies for xanthone. The demand for Xanthone is driven by its applications in several sectors, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, cosmetics, and food.

An increase in demand for these end-use products from major downstream sectors significantly impacts supply chains and affects procurement strategies for xanthone. Xanthone is subject to regulatory controls, particularly in industries like pharmaceuticals and food additives. Compliance with strict regulations set by bodies like the FDA or European Medicines Agency (EMA), associated with the safety and quality of Xanthone, further impacts costs and industrial Xanthone procurement.

Capital expenditure (CAPEX) for manufacturing Xanthone involves all the one-time investments required to establish and prepare the production facility. It covers the cost of purchasing land and constructing the plant, as well as installing essential equipment such as a round-bottom flask, a high-pressure reactor, a magnetic stirrer, and a thermometer. Other equipment includes a gas inlet, a heating tank, a reflux condenser, a thin layer chromatography plate, a filtration apparatus, an ice bath, an oven, a column chromatography apparatus, a rotary evaporator, an NMR spectrometer, an FT-IR spectrometer, and gas chromatographs. Major components of CAPEX include systems for energy supply, such as boilers or chillers, waste management, and safety features like fire suppression and ventilation systems.

CAPEX also covers any equipment required for quality control and laboratory testing to ensure the final product meets required specifications. Operating expenditure (OPEX) for manufacturing Xanthone refers to the ongoing costs involved in running the plant on a day-to-day basis. It mainly covers the cost of raw materials, regular maintenance of machinery, labor costs, and energy charges. Spending on other ongoing expenses, including quality control testing, packaging, and transportation of the final product. Additionally, costs related to environmental compliance, waste disposal, and managing safety measures are part of the OPEX.
 

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Xanthone manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Xanthone manufacturing.

• Production from Mangosteen Waste: The feedstock required for this process includes Mangosteen Waste.

The industrial production of Xanthone from mangosteen waste and ethanol begins with ultrasonic extraction using water to release bioactive compounds from the waste material. Further, the resulting extract is passed through a column packed with macroporous resin, which allows the xanthones to be selectively adsorbed onto the resin. Then, a mixture of water and ethanol is used to elute the xanthones from the resin. The solution is further purified through chromatography, and the solvents are removed by evaporation. Finally, the concentrated xanthone is freeze-dried into a stable powder, which is then packaged and stored for use.
 

Properties of Xanthone

Xanthone is a pale yellow solid with the chemical formula C13H8O2 and a molar mass of 196.20 g/mol. The melting point of the compound is around 174–175°C, and it decomposes before boiling. It is slightly soluble in water but dissolves well in solvents like alcohol and acetone. Xanthone has a stable three-ring structure and can undergo typical chemical reactions of aromatic ketones. It is mainly used in research, dyes, and some medicinal compounds. It is stable under normal conditions and exhibits the reactivity of aromatic ketones, including susceptibility to electrophilic aromatic substitution.
