What Is Hibiscus acid?
Hibiscus acid (CAS 27750-11-4) is (+)-allo-Hydroxycitric acid, chemically described as (1S,2R)-1,2-dihydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid. Molecular formula C6H8O8; molecular weight about 208.12 g/mol. Always match CAS 27750-11-4 on the batch COA.
It is the Hibiscus-type hydroxycitric acid stereoisomer associated with Hibiscus sabdariffa (roselle) organic-acid chemistry, distinct from the Garcinia-type (−)-hydroxycitric acid isomer commonly discussed in ATP-citrate lyase literature. Research references discuss Hibiscus acid / allo-HCA in carbohydrate-metabolism enzyme studies (including α-amylase and α-glucosidase contexts) and as an analytical / biochemical reference material. Monuo Chemical supplies Hibiscus acid as a specialty chemical raw material under Custom synthesis, with batch identity documentation (COA / SDS). Finished-product claims, labeling and local regulatory filings remain the customer’s responsibility. Confirm free-acid vs salt form, assay and stereochemical identity against the batch COA for your intended method.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Hibiscus acid (CAS 27750-11-4)?
It is (+)-allo-Hydroxycitric acid (C6H8O8), a hydroxycitric acid stereoisomer. Monuo Chemical lists it under Custom synthesis. Match CAS 27750-11-4 on the batch COA.
Is Hibiscus acid the same as Garcinia (−)-HCA?
No. Hibiscus acid is the allo / Hibiscus-type stereoisomer; Garcinia materials usually refer to a different HCA isomer. Confirm stereochemistry and CAS on your RFQ.
What is the molecular formula and weight?
For CAS 27750-11-4 free acid: C6H8O8; about 208.12 g/mol. If a calcium salt grade is requested, confirm stoichiometry on the COA.
Where is Hibiscus acid typically used?
Typical R&D uses include stereoisomer comparison, organic-acid analytical work and carbohydrate-metabolism enzyme studies. Finished-product claims remain the customer’s responsibility.
What specification do you supply?
Catalog listing notes 98%; exact assay and form are confirmed on the Certificate of Analysis for each lot. Share your target specification when you request a quote.
Can you supply a calcium salt grade?
Ask for free-acid vs calcium salt when requesting a quote. CAS 27750-11-4 primarily indexes the free acid—verify the form on the batch COA.
How do I request a quotation for CAS 27750-11-4?
