Curcumin
Industrial Applications
Curcumin is widely used as a natural yellow-orange food colorant derived from turmeric (Curcuma longa). It finds applications in dairy products, beverages, savory soups, baked goods, and snacks, valued not only for its vibrant color but also for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Physical Properties
Curcumin is a polyphenolic compound that appears as a bright yellow-orange powder. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone but has low solubility in water. It is stable under dry conditions but can degrade when exposed to light, heat, or alkaline environments, making proper storage important.
