Application:
Food additives
Curcumin has long been widely used as a commonly used natural pigment in the food industry, mainly for coloring canned goods, intestinal products, and soy sauce products.

For general food forms, yellow colored foods such as pastries, desserts, beverages, etc. can be considered.
Chemical indicator
Used as an acid-base indicator, pH 7.8 (yellow) -9.2 (red brown)
Medicine
Turmeric is a commonly used medicine, and its main bioactive components are curcumins and volatile oils. The former has effects such as lowering blood lipids, anticoagulation, antioxidant, cholagogic, and anticancer; The latter mainly has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and cough relieving effects.
