What is Turmeric Pigment (Curcumin)?

The pigment turmeric is obtained from the rhizome of the Curcuma longa plant , commonly known as turmeric . The main active compound responsible for its bright yellow color and many of its bioactive properties is curcumin . Turmeric is an ancient spice used in both gastronomy and traditional medicine, and is currently highly valued for its use as a natural colorant.

The main characteristics of the turmeric pigment (curcumin) are:

  • Origin: Rhizome of the Curcuma longa plant .
  • Main Coloring Compound: Curcumin (a curcuminoid). Turmeric extracts often contain other curcuminoids such as desmethoxycurcumin and bisdesmethoxycurcumin, which contribute to the color and properties.
  • Color: Provides a bright yellow to yellow-orange color , which can vary in intensity depending on the curcumin concentration. Its hue is pH-sensitive: in acidic environments it tends toward lemon yellow, while in alkaline environments it can turn reddish-brown.
  • Marketing Form:
    • Turmeric Powder: The ground rhizome, with a natural concentration of curcumin (typically 2-5%).
    • Standardized Turmeric Extract: Concentrated forms of curcumin, usually in powder form, with a guaranteed percentage of curcuminoids (e.g., 95% curcuminoids).
    • Water/Oil Soluble Turmeric: Special formulations to improve dispersion in different media.
  • Properties:
    • Natural and Safe Colorant: It is a widely accepted natural colorant and approved for food (E100 in Europe) and cosmetic use.
    • Stability: Good stability to heat and light, although it may degrade with prolonged exposure to intense ultraviolet light or extreme alkaline pH.
    • Bioactive Properties: In addition to its function as a colorant, curcumin is recognized for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory , and health potential, making it a functional ingredient.
    • Aroma and Flavor: Although pure curcumin is tasteless, turmeric powder retains the spice’s characteristic aroma and flavor.

  • Curcuminoid Content: Guaranteed percentage (%) of total curcuminoids (primarily curcumin). This is the primary indicator of coloring strength and functional potency.
  • Hue/Chromatic Value: Color value measured by spectrophotometric methods or CIE L a b* values ​​to ensure consistency.
  • Granulometry: Fineness of powder (for dry extracts).
  • Solubility/Dispersion: Water-soluble, oil-soluble, water-dispersible; crucial for the final application.
  • Application pH: Optimal pH range for color stability.
  • Purity: Level of impurities and contaminants (e.g., heavy metals, pesticide residues, microorganisms).
