FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Does CAS 458-37-7 describe every commercial Curcumin powder?
A: No. CAS 458-37-7 identifies curcumin itself, while commercial turmeric-derived color products may contain a defined mixture of curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin. State whether the order requires isolated curcumin, total curcuminoids or a specific turmeric-derived product. -
Q:
Is Curcumin the same as turmeric extract or turmeric oleoresin?
A: No. The materials can originate from turmeric but differ in composition, carrier, color strength and residual components. Identify the exact product type, curcuminoid or coloring-matter basis and botanical source where relevant. -
Q:
What is Curcumin used for?
A: Curcumin is evaluated as a colorant, functional ingredient and chemical intermediate in food, cosmetic, dietary-supplement and research applications where the applicable grade is approved. The required purity, color value and regulatory status depend on the destination and use. -
Q:
What are the key physical properties of Curcumin?
A: Curcumin is an orange-yellow crystalline powder with formula C21H20O6 and molecular weight about 368.38 g/mol. It has a typical melting point around 183 C, is practically insoluble in water, and is soluble in ethanol, DMSO, chloroform, acetone and acetic acid, with color that changes with pH. -
Q:
Which batch data should be agreed for a Curcumin ingredient?
A: Confirm the assay basis, individual or total curcuminoid profile, color value if applicable, moisture, ash, residual solvents, specified metals and microbiological limits. Requirements vary by destination and use.
