https://doi.org/10.59436/jsiane.280.2583-2093Keywords:
curcumin, Zingiberaceae, anti-mutagenic, food preserving agent, 2-hydroxymethyl anthraquinone.Abstract
Curcumin root, also known as Curcuma longa Linn, grows in moderate and subtropical environments. Around the world. Curcumin is very nutrient-dense. According to extensive study conducted over the last 50 years, curcumin has been accountable for almost every one of turmeric's advantages. Turmeric contains antimicrobial agents, anti-inflammatory properties components, activities that reduce coagulation and lower blood sugar levels, antimicrobial properties, stimulates wound healing, and impacts on fertility, arthritis, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, cancer, HIV, and angiogenesis. It is useful for diabetics. Turmeric powder is often used to colour and taste meals, but it is also employed in traditional Indian medicine to treat a number of health issues. Turmeric appears to be on its way to supplying much more than just a vibrant colour for Indian dishes. It helps with diabetes. Turmeric powder is often used to colour and taste meals, but it is also employed in traditional Indian medicine to treat a number of health issues. Turmeric appears to be on its way to supplying much more than just a yellow tint for Indian curries, thanks to its chemical constituents, curcumin and curcuminoids. Curcumin extract was widely employed in mediaeval Indian medicine to treat a number of ailments as well as to give colour and flavour to food.
