Product Specification

Garcinia Cambogia Extract 50%-60% HCA Powder

Product Introduction of Garcinia Cambogia Extract
I. Basic Information
- Product Name: Garcinia Cambogia Extract
- English Name: Garcinia Cambogia Extract
- Plant Source: Dried pericarp of Garcinia cambogia (Gaertn.) Desr. belonging to the genus Garcinia of the Clusiaceae family. Mature fruit pericarp free from mildew and insect infestation is selected as raw material.
- Appearance Properties: Fine powder ranging from brownish yellow to tan with uniform color and no visible foreign impurities; it has the unique faint fruity aroma of Garcinia cambogia without peculiar odors.
- Raw Material Origin: Mainly produced in tropical regions of Southeast Asia (such as India and Indonesia) as well as tropical provinces in China including Hainan and Yunnan. All raw materials are sourced from standardized planting or harvesting areas.

II. Core Ingredients
Standardized extraction processes are adopted to retain natural components in Garcinia cambogia pericarp, mainly including:
- Characteristic Ingredient: Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA), the marker component of Garcinia cambogia Extract, whose content can be customized by adjusting production processes.
- Associated Ingredients: A small amount of flavonoids, organic acids and mineral elements. The component composition complies with the characteristics of natural plant extracts.

 III. Production Process
Modern plant extraction technologies are applied with standardized and controllable procedures as follows:
1. Raw Material Selection: Screen Garcinia cambogia pericarp with qualified dryness and intact condition, sort out impurities and unqualified raw materials.
2. Pre-treatment: Clean raw materials, conduct low-temperature drying at 45-55℃ and crush the materials into 40-60 mesh powder to improve the dissolution efficiency of active ingredients.
3. Extraction Process: Adopt 70% ethanol reflux extraction method with a solid-liquid ratio of 1:12 (g/mL). The extraction temperature is controlled at 65-75℃, and the extraction is carried out twice for 2 hours each time.
4. Separation and Purification: Centrifuge the extracting solution at 3000 r/min and filter through a 100-mesh sieve to remove residues, followed by vacuum concentration to enrich active ingredients.
5. Drying and Forming: Spray-dry the concentrated extract under the inlet air temperature of 170-180℃ and outlet air temperature of 80-90℃ to prepare powder, with moisture content controlled at no more than 5.0%.
6. Sieving and Inspection: Sieve the dried powder through an 80-120 mesh screen, and package and store the finished products in warehouse only after passing all item inspections.

 IV. Product Specifications
Customizable specifications are available according to customer demands, and the conventional standards are listed below:
- Ratio Specifications: 10:1, 20:1, 30:1 (1 kilogram of extract corresponds to the specified weight of dried raw materials)
- Component Content Specifications: Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) content ≥50%, ≥60% (tested by HPLC method)
- General Indicators: Moisture ≤5.0%, Ash ≤8.0%, Particle Size: 80-120 mesh, Ethanol Residue ≤0.5%

 V. Quality Standards and Testing
Product quality is controlled in accordance with relevant standards for plant extracts, with core testing items as follows:
- Qualitative Identification: The chromatographic spots obtained by Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) are consistent with those of reference substances, and HPLC is used for auxiliary qualitative analysis.
- Content Determination: The content of HCA is tested via HPLC method to meet customized specifications.
- Pollutant Indicators: Lead ≤2.0 mg/kg, Arsenic ≤1.0 mg/kg, Mercury ≤0.1 mg/kg; pesticide residues comply with the requirements of GB 2763.
- Microbiological Indicators: Total Aerobic Count ≤1000 CFU/g, Molds and Yeasts ≤100 CFU/g, pathogenic bacteria shall not be detected.

 VI. Application Fields
With the properties of natural ingredients, this product is applied in the following industries:
- Food Industry: Used as a natural additive in functional beverages, meal replacement foods and other products with a recommended dosage of 0.1%-3%.
- Health Care Product Industry: Served as a raw material for dietary supplements to manufacture capsules, tablets and other products, and can be compounded with other plant extracts.
- Cosmetic Industry: Added as a natural raw material to skin care products in compliance with safety specifications for cosmetic raw materials.

 VII. Storage Conditions and Shelf Life
- Packaging Method: Sealed with food-grade aluminum foil bags and packed in fiber drums (25 kg per drum); small specifications of 1 kg or 5 kg can be customized.
- Storage Conditions: Seal and store in a cool and dry place with temperature ≤25℃ and relative humidity ≤60%. Avoid direct strong light and mixed storage with odorous articles.
- Shelf Life: 24 months under specified storage conditions. It is recommended to consume the product within 3 months after opening the package.

VIII. Precautions
1. This product is a natural plant extract rather than a pharmaceutical drug, and cannot replace medicines for therapeutic purposes.
2. Confirm the consistency between product specifications and application scenarios before use; small-scale trials are recommended prior to formal application.
3. Discontinue use if the product shows abnormal conditions such as caking, discoloration or peculiar odor.
