Additional_detail: Cactus extract Hoodia gordonii
What is Hoodia? Nopal Opuntia
Hoodia is a succulent plant found
in the Kalahari desert of South
Africa. The genus encompasses a
number of varieties of plant of
which Hoodia gordonii is one
species. Hoodia plants are
succulents, not cacti, although
they do have a spiny appearance
similar to cacti
How has Hoodia gordonii been used
in the past?
For many centuries the San
bushmen of the Kalahari desert
have used Hoodia plants as a
food. The species Hoodia gordonii
was less often used because of
its lingering bitter taste being
considered unpleasant. However,
in times of hardship, or being
away from familiar areas, it was
sometimes eaten.
How did the CSIR's research into
Hoodia gordonii commence?
Due to the tradition of food use
of Hoodia plants, certain species
were included in a scientific
research project established by
the South African statutory
council known as CSIR (Council
for Scientific and Industrial
Research) to screen a large
number of bush foods. As part of
the screening process, extracts
of plants were made and tested
for toxic effects. Surprisingly,
it was observed that the Hoodia
extracts caused a decrease in
appetite and body weight in
animals that did not appear to be
due to a direct toxic effect of
the extract.
