Abstract

Obesity is one of the major problems faced by many people all around the world. There are many ways to reduce it physically, but it needs some hardwork. Hydroxy citric acid (HCA) is the compound which is used to reduce weight. This compound is abundantly present in the fruits of Garcinia combogia . This is a type of tamarind which is cultivated in Srilanka and also in some parts of Malabar in India. The purity and yield of HCA varies between G. cambogia cultivated at different locations. It is very important to extract HCA with maximum purity and with higher yield to benefit the mankind. Hence, in the present research work, HCA was extracted from G. combogia cultivated at two different location of Malabar and Srilanka and compared their elements and purity using HPLC and FTIR. The purity of HCA extracted from G. combogia cultivated at Malabar was found to be higher of about 50.95% in comparison with HCA extracted from G. combogia cultivated at Srilanka which was 41.16%.
