Aim of this study is to present microbiological quality, and antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of the mangosteen fruit in two forms: freeze-dried powder and fresh fruit. During the identification of the mangosteen microbiota using a MALDI-TOF MS Biotyper mass spectrophotometer, the presence of <italic>B. cereus</italic> and <italic>Saccharomyces</italic> spp. has been detected. The best antimicrobial activity was achieved against <italic>Micrococcus</italic> spp. Mangosteen fruit (<italic>Garcina mangostana</italic>) is characterized by a high content of polyphenols at the following levels: fresh fruit 3.22 ±0.68 mg GAE.g−1; powder form 2.17 ±0.64 mg GAE.g−1. Mangosteen shows a high antioxidant capacity of the fruit in the two forms presented in the work. It was 21.18% (fresh fruit) and 14.46% (freeze-dried fruit). Mangosteen also shows an antibacterial activity in relation to the strains of bacteria tested in our work.
