Detailed Project Report on curcumin extraction

CURCUMIN EXTRACTION [CODE NO.3689]  


Curcumin is the main active ingredients in Turmeric. Curcumin is primarily used as a cholinergic and used to improve joint health. Curcumin synergizes particularly well with piperine, greatly increasing its bioavailability. Curcumin supplements can reduce age related memory loss by inhibiting the buildup of beta amyloid, a peptide commonly found in age related degenerative diseases of the brain. Curcumin Induces flow of bile which breaks down fat, keeps heart healthy by normalizing cholesterol level. Curcumin is helpful in digestive support and arthritis pain relief.

Curcumin (synonyms: turmeric yellow, kurkum, INS No. 100(i)) is an orange-yellow crystalline powder. Minor amounts of oils and resins naturally occurring in turmeric may be present.

The origin of the plant Curcuma longa L., which belongs to Zingiberaceae family is India. The plant is distributed throughout tropical and subtropical regions of the world, being widely cultivated in southeast Asian countries. Turmeric, i.e., the ground rhizomes of Curcuma longa L., has a long history of use in food as a spice, mainly as an ingredient in many varieties of curry powders and sauces, where curcumin from turmeric is a main colouring substance.

The turmeric (Curcuma longa) plant, a perennial herb belonging to the ginger family, is cultivated extensively in south and southeast tropical Asia. The rhizome of this plant is also referred to as the ―root and is the most useful part of the plant for culinary and medicinal purposes. The most active component of turmeric is curcumin, which makes up 2 to 5% of the spice.
