Garcinia indica
Indian coastal tree producing kokum fruit, traditional Konkan and Goa medicine and culinary ingredient.
Garcinia indica, commonly known as kokum, is a tropical tree native to the Western Ghats of India. Its fruit rind is rich in hydroxycitric acid (HCA), garcinol, and anthocyanins, and is traditionally used in Konkan and Goan cuisine and medicine for digestive health, heat stroke, and rheumatism. Modern research suggests antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and potential weight management benefits, though evidence is limited (Level C).
Hydroxycitric acid (HCA) competitively inhibits ATP-citrate lyase, reducing cytosolic acetyl-CoA and thereby suppressing fatty acid synthesis and increasing fat oxidation. Garcinol exhibits anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting COX-2 and 5-LOX pathways and modulating NF-κB signaling. Anthocyanins provide antioxidant effects via free radical scavenging and upregulation of endogenous antioxidant enzymes. Additionally, the fruit's organic acids (citric, malic) may support digestive function by promoting gastric acid secretion and bile flow.
