Among plant supplements, which once included in a food regimen, induce a favorable
evolution in persons seeking to lose some weight, Garcinia cambogia fruit containing
hydroxycitric acid deserves close attention. The aim of this study consisted in the investigation
of a biological effect of hydroxycitric acid within a Garcinia cambogia extract on the nutrient
metabolism. The study involved the use of a Garcinia cambogia extract comprising hyroxycitric
acid in the amount of 60.23%. In view of simulating the conditions of digestion, model dietary
media consisting of extrusion products added with a Garcinia cambogia extract and enzymes
were developed. The simulation of digestion processes in experimental model media has shown
the decrease of glucose formation. Possibly hydroxycitric acid inactivates the activity of
amylases, what results in the decline in the content of free monosaccharides and in the reduction
of synthesis of glycerol as a fat component with the effect of an inhibited triglyceride formation.
The addition of an extrusion product comprising the Garcinia cambogia extract to the diet of
laboratory animals (rats) after 28 days of the experiment resulted in a reliable reduction of blood
total cholesterol and triglycerides by 13% and 28%, respectively, and also in the decrease of body
weight of animals by 5.8%. The investigation confirms the data available in the literature on the
properties of hydroxycitric acid within a Garcinia cambogia extract, which influences the nutrient
metabolism, thereby allows using brindleberry processing products for the correction of body
weight.
