 The
tree is valued for its dried rind which is rich in acids and possesses
marked antiseptic properties. It contains tartaric acid reducing
sugars and phosphoric acid (as calcium triphosphate). It limits
the synthesis of fatty acids in the muscles and liver lipogenesis
(production of fat) by inhibiting the enzyme ATP-citrate lyase.
The fruits contain about 30% acid (calculated as citric acid) on
the dry basis which is essentially (-)-hydroxy-citric acid. A decoction
of the fruit rind is given in rheumatism and bowel complaints. The
resin possesses purgative properties.
