Detailed Project Report on CURCUMIN EXTRACTION PLANT (API AND 95%) (CAP: 30 KG/DAY)

Curcumin (diferuloyl methane), the natural yellow pigment in turmeric, is isolated from the rhizomes of the plant Curcuma longa. It constitutes about 3-4% 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.

CURCUMIN EXTRACTION PLANT (API AND
95%) (CAP: 30 KG/DAY)
[EIRI/EDPR/4728] J.C.: 2948XL

Curcumin (diferuloyl methane), the natural yellow pigment in turmeric, is isolated
from the rhizomes of the plant Curcuma longa. It constitutes about 3-4% 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.

Curcumin is also a powerful inhibitor of the proliferation of several tumor cells, as
well as an anti-inflammatory agent. It exhibits anti-clastogenic, anti-fungal and
anti-viral properties. However, the lack of information regarding the mechanisms
of action of curcumin has precluded its clinical use in western countries. Several
recent studies have given some insight into the molecular basis for the action of
curcumin at the cellular level.
