Curcumin is the main bioactive component found in the roots of turmeric, a plant belonging to the ginger family. Turmeric has been used as an artificial coloring and flavoring in South Asian cuisines for centuries, and it has also been recommended by traditional Ayurvedic herbalists for thousands of years. Curcumin has been extensively researched by modern scientists for its various biological activities.
Turmeric contains several natural substances, including curcumin, a curcuminoid that, along with the other curcuminoids demethoxycurcum and bisdemethoxycurcumin, gives this popular spice its characteristic yellow color.
