8991(PCT) Water Soluble Group IA and HA Double Metal Salt of (-)- Hydroxycitric Acid Technical field This invention relates to a new soluble double metal salt of group IA and II
A of (-) hydroxycitric acid. process of preparing the same and its use in beverages and other food products without effecting their flavor and properties. This product with >98% purity can be used safely not only as a food supplement in various nutriceutical formulations and beverages but also for effecting obesity control.
Background Art (-} Hydroxycitric acid (HCA) occurs in the fruit rind of Garcinia species (G.
to Cambogia, G. hidica and G. atrovh*iis). The first two species grow abundantly in India and the third occurs mostly in South East Asian countries. The success of this natural food product derived from Garcinia fruit has been documented and been in use since several centuries BC. Also known as "Kokum", the extracts of the fruit have been used, as a tart flavoring in meat and seafood dishes, turned into a refreshing beverage that serves as a unique flavor enhancer, gourmet spice and a digestive after aheavy meal. In Aynuveda, the traditional ancient system of herbal medicine in India, Garrcmia is also considered to be one of the prime herbs that are beneficial for the heart.
In more recent tines, Gannia has received worldwide attention as a 10 nutriceutical for.effective obesity control. Several scientists including at Hoffman-La Roche have established that HCA, the active ingredient in the fruit, prevents the conversion of excess carbohydrates to fat in animals. The energy released by the excess carbohydrate is converted into and stored as glycogen, a readily usable form of energy. Interestingly, it has been shown to inhibit ATP dependent citrate,-lyase, a key enzyme in' diverting carbohydrate to fatty acids and cholesterol synthesis.
(Sullivan et al. Lipids, 9:121 and 129 (1973). Sergio, W.. Medical Hypothesis :7:39 (1988).
The age-old practice of consuming Garcinia rind as a food additive by inhabitants of Malabar and Konkan coast of the Indian peninsula has established ..._._..._ ................... .... ..... -. ...... _......... ..... .

8991(PCT) the safety of HCA. The isolation and chemical nature of (-) hydroxycitric acic from Garcinia rind are described in the publication of Lewis Y.S., el aL
(Methods in Enzymology, 13:613 (1967) and in the patents (Indian patents 160753 &

and US patents 5536516 & 5656314).
s It is believed that consumption of HCA influences the body metabolism leading to the saturation of glycogen receptors in the liver and a consequent transmission of signals of satiation to brain. Even as a food supplement, (-) HCA
helps a person to loselcontrol weight in a natural way without affecting normal physical activities.
to In view of its unique property, several health care formulations incorporating HCA are being sold across the counter in the Western markets.
These include tablets, capsules, herbal teas, chocolate bars, milk shakes and other beverages. The active ingredient (HCA) from this insoluble HCA salt is released upon contact with hydrochloric and in the stomach and absorbed through the is intestine to exert its metabolic effect There is prior art on the preparation of a soluble tri-potassium- salt of (-) HCA (Lewis Y.S., et al (Methods in Enzymology, 13:613 (1967), International Patent application WO 96136585. However, its alkaline nature and risks associated with the consumption of high potassium (-36%) makes this io product unsuitable for HCA-based formulations.

loading thus obtained refined extract on ion-exchange columns containing an anion exchange resin followed by a cation exchange resin, and finally evaporation of the free acid liberated from the ion-exchange process to said concentration. This liquid fonn of (-) hvdroxycitric acid has problems of stability and half-life.

In addition, its highly acidic nature poses problems in formulating into beverage and various other food products without affecting their flavor and properties.

The process will now be described with reference to the following examples.
Example 1:

Water extract of Garcinia rind is obtained by counter current extraction, this is carried out in three vessels more specifically each time fresh Garcinia rind each time 1 Kg is loaded into vessel 3 and treated with 1.5 liters of water, the rind is moved from V3 to V2 then to V1. On the other hand the extract was moved from V1 to V2 then to V3. The extract obtained starting from 3Kgs of rind was 3.6 litres containing 620gms of acid along with the other water-soluble substances. The total soluble constituents in the extract i.e. brix was found to be 43 degrees. The extraction efficiency was found to be 90%. This acid was transferred to a vessel and neutralized by addition if 358 gm of sodium hydroxide. After cooling this solution to room temperature, 500 ml of solution containing 490 gin of calcium chloride was added to it and resultant insoluble calcium salt was centrifuged and washed thoroughly to removed the color and wo water soluble impurities. The salt obtained was dried and weight is found to be 693 gm.One hundred grams of this insoluble salt was taken in a one liter vessel to and 71.32 gin oxalic acid dihydrate dissolved in 350 ml of water was added and stirred at 150 RPM
on a shaker for 30 min, and the supernatant 210 ml of was collected. To this supernatant 71.32 gm of oxalic acid dihydrate was added and another 100 gm of calcium hydroxycitrate added and this procedure is followed until the hydroxycitric acid content in the extract reaches -45% detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The traces of oxalic acid were also removed by finally adding excess calcium hydroxycitrate. This was monitored by HPLC by observing the total absence of oxalic acid peak. The solution of hydroxycitric acid thus obtained was found to contain 202 gm of acid in 450 ml of extract. This was neutralized by 117 gm of sodium hydroxide and the solution was cooled to room temperature. To this sodium salt solution of hydroxycitric acid, 200 ml of solution containing 81 gm of calcium chloride was added drop wise with vigorous stirring. The soluble sodium and calcium double metal salt of hydroxycitric acid was then precipitated by addition of ethanol. Then precipitated salt was filtered, washed with ethanol and dried to obtain 234 gin of the soluble sodium and calcium double metal salt of hydroxycitric acid (yield: 91.2%). In another experiment, the above procedure was repeated exactly after collecting the ethanol precipitated material. This was again dissolved in water ~AMENDED PAG IN 009900004 to 30% and the material thus obtained was spray dried to obtain 243 gm of the soluble salt of hydroxycitric acid (yield 95%).

EXAMPLE 2:

One hundred gm Garcinia Cambogia rind was extracted 4 times with 80%
acetone in water (250 ml each time) for 4 hours. The combined extract (830-ml) was concentrated to 300 ml by heating in vacuo at 56 C (500 millibar and filtered through cheese cloth to remove water insoluble non polar substances. The filtrate (260-m1) containing 18 gm of hydroxycitric acid decolorized by addition of 2.6 gm of activated io charcoal and filtered The resultant clear solution was concentrated to 50 ml, and the free acid was converted into the sodium salt of hydroxycitric acid by the addition of i l gm of sodium hydroxide pellets, were added. To this formed solution of sodium salt of (-) hydroxycitric acid 20 ml of solution containing 9 gm of calcium chloride was added drop wise with vigorous stirring. The soluble sodium and calcium double metal salt of hydroxycitric acid is then precipitated by addition of ethanol.
The precipitated soluble sodium and calcium double metal salt is filtered, washed with ethanol and dried to obtain 20.7 gm of the soluble sodium and calcium double metal salt of hydroxycitric acid (yield 89.84%).

EXAMPLE 3: An anion exchange resin (bed volume IL) was loaded onto a glass column and washed thoroughly with 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide to remove the chloride present in the resin. The column was then washed with water till the eluate pH was neutral. Three hundred milliliters of an aqueous solution containing 108 gm of (-) hydroxycitric acid was loaded onto the column and washed with water to remove the colored materials. The column was eluted with I liter of an aqueous solution containing 63 gm of sodium hydroxide followed by 0.5 L of water. The combined eluate (1.5 liters) containing sodium salt of hydroxycitric acid was divided into two parts (750 ml each) and the soluble sodium and calcium double metal salt was prepared as follows. A portion of the sodium salt of hydroxycitric acid (750 ml) was concentrated to 200 ml. Fifty milliliters of a solution containing 20.25 gm of calcium chloride was added drop wise with vigorous stirring. The soluble salt of hydroxycitric acid thus formed was precipitated by the addition of ethanol, collected by filtration, washed. with ethanol and dried to obtain 60.3 gm of the soluble calcium salt of hydroxycitric acid (yield: 91.8%).

b) The remaining portion of the eluate (750-m1) from the anion exchange column was passed through a column of cation exchange resin (bed volume 750ml). The column was washed with water until the pH of the eluent reached neutral. One liter of the flow through which contained 45 gm of free (-) hydroxycitric acid was collected, concentrated in Vacuo to 100 ml and.reneutralized by the addition of 27 gm of sodium hydroxide pellets. To the resultant solution of the sodium salt of (-) hydroxycitric acid, 50 ml of a solution containing 18 gm of calcium chloride was added drop wise with vigorous stirring. The resultant soluble calcium salt of hydroxycitric acid was precipitated by the addition of ethanol. The precipitated salt was filtered, washed with ethanol and dried to obtain 54 gm of the soluble calcium salt of (-) hydroxycitric acid (yield:
93.75%).

EXAMPLE 4:

One hundred milliliters of 48% enriched aqueous solution of hydroxycitric acid solution was evaporated 67 C in vacuo to remove water. The syrup thus formed was transferred into Petri dishes dried and desiccated under vacuum for 4-5 hours. The solid lactone of hydroxycitric acid weighing 30.6 gm was collected. To the said Lactone residue, 60 ml of a solution containing 18 gm of sodium hydroxide was added. To the resultant solution of the sodium salt of (-) hydroxycitric acid, 30 ml of a solution containing 12.6 gm of calcium chloride was added drop wise with vigorous stirring. The soluble salt of hydroxycitric acid is then precipitated by addition of ethanol.
