Industry Overview
Curcumin (diferuloylmethane) is the principal yellow pigment and bioactive constituent of turmeric, obtained from the rhizomes of Curcuma longa, a perennial plant belonging to the Zingiberaceae family. Turmeric has been cultivated and used for centuries in South and Southeast Asia as a spice, colouring agent, preservative and traditional medicinal ingredient. Curcumin constitutes about 3-4% of turmeric in the report and is characterized as an orange-yellow crystalline powder that is practically insoluble in water.
The traditional applications of turmeric include food preparation, topical formulations and Ayurvedic remedies. Curcuminoids present in turmeric have attracted extensive research because of their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, along with reported antimicrobial, antimutagenic and other biological activities. Curcumin is also widely investigated for applications associated with dietary supplements, functional foods, personal care and pharmaceutical research.
Commercial curcumin production involves extraction and purification of turmeric, with ethanol-water and other solvent-based extraction methods described in the report. The project also covers turmeric oil extraction, product characterization, purity testing, plant requirements, market analysis, suppliers, plant layout and project economics. The proposed plant capacity is 255 Kg./Day, with the report providing detailed cost estimates and financial indicators for establishing the facility.
