Detailed Project Report on Curcumin (From Turmeric)

CURCUMIN (FROM TURMERIC)

[EIRI/EDPR/4330] J.C.: 2513XL

INTRODUCTION

Curcumin, the natural yellow pigment in turmeric, is isolated from the rhizomes of the plant Curcuma longa. It constitutes about 2-4% of the composition of turmeric. In the south and southeast tropical Asian countries, turmeric has been used for centuries as a spice to give the specific flavor and yellow color to curry. Turmeric became a very important spice to mankind when it was observed that the addition of turmeric powder in food preparation preserved its freshness and nutritive value. The use of turmeric became more popular when it was found to act as a therapeutic agent for various illnesses. In the Ayurvedic system of medicine, turmeric is used as a tonic and as a blood purifier. Its role in the treatment of skin diseases and its ability to soften rough skin resulted in the prolific use of turmeric in topical creams and bath soaps in India. Turmeric is also used in home remedies in the treatment of cuts, wounds, bruises, and sprains. Its use as an anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agent has been recognized for more than a century. 

The importance of turmeric in medicine took a new twist when it was discovered that the dried rhizome of Curcuma longa is very rich in phenolic, whose structures have been identified as curcuminoids. Phenolics are known to possess antioxidant properties. Free radical mediated damage to biological systems is recognized as the initiating agent for many diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and arthritis.
