ABSTRACT- Turmeric is also called as Curcuma longa, is used as a flavoring agent, medicinal herb, and dye in Asian countries. In India where Ayurveda is a system of herbal medicine, turmeric is known for strengthening and warming the whole body. The main component in turmeric is curcumin, which has a wide range of properties, such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimuta-genic, and antimicrobial. Experimental studies have shown the biological activities of the compound, but much more information on pharmacokinetics, bioavailability, and food content are needed. Whether the amount of curcumin in turmeric and curry powders is sufficient to suggest effects on biological activities and cancer risk is unknown. To determine and compare the quantitative amounts of curcumin that are present in several brands of turmeric and curry powders, a high performance liquid chromatography technique was used to analyze 28 spice products described as turmeric or curry powders and two negative controls. Pure turmeric powder had the highest curcumin concentration, averaging 3.14% by weight. The curry powder samples, with one exception, had relatively small amounts of curcumin present, and the variability in content was great. The curcumin content of these seasoning products that are consumed as a component of the diet should be considered in evaluating baseline tissue concentration and response to curcumin supplementation, which is under study in chemoprevention trials.
