Description

Turmeric Extract Powder – Curcumin (Curcuma longa)

Common name: Turmeric Extract, Curcumin, Turmeric Root Extract
Botanical name: Curcuma longa L.
Plant part: Rhizome
Category: Extract Powders

Product Overview

Turmeric Extract Powder – Curcumin is a botanical ingredient derived from the rhizome of Curcuma longa, a plant belonging to the ginger family, Zingiberaceae. Turmeric has a long history of use in culinary traditions and Ayurvedic herbal preparations.

Curcumin is one of the principal curcuminoids responsible for turmeric’s characteristic yellow colour. Manufacturers produce turmeric extracts using processes that concentrate selected compounds from the rhizome. However, the final curcumin concentration depends on the extraction method, manufacturing process, and product specifications.

This extract powder is suitable for appropriate botanical formulations and product development.

Nutritional Value

Turmeric Extract Powder – Curcumin is primarily valued for its concentrated botanical constituents rather than as a conventional nutritional powder.

Its composition differs from ordinary turmeric powder because extraction can concentrate certain compounds while reducing or removing others. Therefore, the nutritional profile of ground turmeric should not automatically be applied to this extract.

Composition

Turmeric contains several naturally occurring phytochemical groups, including:

• Curcumin: A yellow polyphenolic compound and one of the principal curcuminoids found in turmeric.
• Demethoxycurcumin: Another naturally occurring curcuminoid.
• Bisdemethoxycurcumin: A related compound found in turmeric rhizomes.
• Other botanical constituents: Additional compounds may remain in the extract depending on the extraction and manufacturing processes.

The total curcuminoid content varies between products.

Benefits and Botanical Properties

Curcumin has attracted scientific interest because of its antioxidant properties and its potential biological activities.

Researchers have investigated curcumin in relation to inflammation and other biological processes. However, research findings vary, and laboratory studies do not necessarily predict benefits in humans. Curcumin also has limited absorption when taken orally in some formulations.
