Uses and synthesis of Hydroxycitric acid powder

Hydroxycitric acid powder is a derivative of citric acid that is widely found in tropical rainforest plants such as garcinia cambogia and roseberry. Hydroxycitric acid is an important organic acid. It is a derivative of citric acid and is found in many natural hibiscus plants. Its molecular formula is C6H8O8. Hydroxycitric acid is a highly active molecule composed of polyols and polyacids. Hydroxycitric acid can not only prepare health care products with high content of calcium salt and potassium salt per unit molecule, but also use its active functional groups as prodrug intermediates for some new drugs. Hydroxycitric acid can also produce fine chemical products such as non-toxic special plasticizers by esterification reaction.

Applications/Functions of Hydroxycitric acid powder

• Hydroxycitric acid powder is commonly used in place of tamarind or lemon as a flavoring agent for curries, and is also used as a preservative and herbal tonic.
