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%.

马拉巴尔和斯里兰卡两地栽培藤黄中羟基柠檬酸的提取及特性研究

肥胖是全世界许多人面临的主要问题之一。有很多方法可以减少身体上的疲劳，但这需要一些努力。羟基柠檬酸(HCA)是一种用于减肥的化合物。这种化合物在藤黄果中大量存在。这是一种罗望子，在斯里兰卡和印度马拉巴尔的一些地区都有种植。不同产地栽培的黄藤，其HCA的纯度和产量各不相同。以最高的纯度和更高的收率提取HCA对造福人类具有重要意义。因此，在本研究中，我们从马拉巴尔和斯里兰卡两个不同地点种植的三叶草中提取了HCA，并使用HPLC和FTIR对其元素和纯度进行了比较。结果表明，马拉巴尔栽培的三叶草中提取的HCA纯度为50.95%，高于斯里兰卡栽培的三叶草中提取的41.16%。
