Its main chain consists of unsaturated aliphatic and aromatic groups, and it is a diketone compound. It is a commonly used seasoning and edible pigment, non-toxic, with a chemical formula of C21H20O6.
Curcumin is an orange yellow crystalline powder with a slightly bitter taste. It is insoluble in water and ether, soluble in ethanol and propylene glycol, and easily soluble in glacial acetic acid and alkaline solutions. It appears reddish brown in alkaline conditions and yellow in neutral and acidic conditions.
Curcumin has strong stability towards reducing agents and strong coloring properties. Once colored, it is not easy to fade, but it is sensitive to light, heat, and iron ions, and has poor resistance to light, heat, and iron ions.
Curcumin is a natural compound mainly used in food production for coloring products such as intestinal products, canned goods, and sauce braised products. Curcumin has the effects of reducing blood fat, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, cholagogic, antioxidant, etc. In addition, some scientists have found that curcumin is helpful in the treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis.
