Hydroxycitric acid content in local exotic fruits as a potential dietary supplement for weight reduction

The content of several exotic Malaysian fruits were investigated to identify the concentration of hydroxycitric acid (HCA) in them. Among the fruits studied were Garcinia atroviridis, Canarium sp. and Averrhoa belimbi L. HCA captured high interest for its potential function as an appetite suppressor...
