Description The presence of Hydroxycitric acid (HCA) in the fruit rind and leaves of Garcinia has added the importance to the crop. Two months old fruits and the leaves of four species garcinia namely G.gummi-gutta, G. indica, G. tinctoria and G. cowa were collected from germplasm of IISR experimental farm Peruvanamuzhi. HCA was estimated using HPLC and acid-base titration method. The titration method provided slightly more percentage of extraction as it gives the presence of total acids in the sample. Percentage difference in HCA of the two methods vary between 0.09 to 0.879 in leaves and 0.15 to 3.35 in case of fruits. Among the four species studied G. tinctoria is having very low HCA 0.013% in leaves and 0.07% in fruits.
