Abstract
Hibiscus sabdariffa, a famous herbal plant in Malaysia [1], belongs to the family Malvaceae and is locally known as “Roselle” [2]. It is an important annual crop grown successfully in tropical and sub-tropical climates [3]. Its leshy calyx (sepals) surrounding the fruit (capsules) have been used to produce a variety of beverages and commercial products. The therapeutic anti-obesity usage of H. sabdariffa has been well studied [4]. In fact, many signi icant evidences of H. sabdariffa in lowering deposition of fat in adipose tissue [5], have motivated the investigation. A study by Ojeda et Abstract
