A Caralluma extract and a method of making thereof which can be standardized and reproducible, and which prevents the glycosides from decomposition, which can reduce the undesirable non-glycoside components. In the first Caralluma extract, the resinous material does not exceed 0.5% by weight, and, in the second Caralluma extract, the resinous material does not exceed 1.0% by weight. The first extract is produced by optionally pretreatment of plant materials, optional crushing and/or grinding, extraction, and concentration. The filtration step and the resin removal step may be performed optionally. The second extract is produced by contacting the first Caralluma extract with excipients, drying, powdering, sifting and blending. The Caralluma extracts of the present invention can be used for medical purposes and as food additives. |
