Garcinia Cambogia Extract
Active Marker Compound: α-Mangostin – standardized to 10% to 20% by HPLC
Extraction Process
- Raw Material Sourcing: Ripe mangosteen fruits are harvested; the thick, reddish-purple rinds (pericarp) are separated and dried.
- Grinding : The pericarp is sun-dried or oven-dried under controlled conditions and then ground into fine powder.
- Solvent Extraction : The powdered pericarp undergoes hydroalcoholic extraction (typically ethanol-water mix) to isolate xanthones, especially α-mangostin.
- Filtration & Concentration: The extract is filtered and concentrated under vacuum to retain potency and remove excess solvents.
- Drying: Concentrated extract is dried (spray-dried or freeze-dried), and the final powder is standardized to 10–20% α-mangostin using HPLC.
