Description
Turmeric Extract Product Overview
Turmeric extract is obtained from the rhizome of Curcuma longa. The 95% grade is a bright orange-yellow crystalline powder consisting of three curcuminoids: curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin. These compounds are practically insoluble in water and dissolve in ethanol and oils.
Food producers use curcumin as a natural yellow colorant under E number E100 in dairy products, confectionery, sauces and beverages. Producers of nutritional products use the extract in capsules and tablets, often in formulations designed to improve dispersion and absorption; regulations in each market govern the claims allowed. Cosmetic formulators use it in skin care and as a colorant.
Curcuminoids fade in strong light and alkaline conditions, so formulations are protected accordingly. Related plant-based ingredients include Ginger Extract, Grape Seed Extract and Capsicum extract.
