Curcumin is a constituent of the Indian spice turmeric (Curcumin longa), a type of ginger. It is one of three curcuminoids which exist in turmeric, the other two being desmethoxycurcumin and bis-desmethoxycurcumin. These curcuminoids give turmeric its yellow color and is used as a yellow food colorant and food additive.
Curcumin is accessed from the dried rhizome of the turmeric plant, which is a recurrent herb that is cultivated largely in south and southeast Asia. The rhizome or the root is processed to form turmeric which contains 2% to 5% curcumin. Curcumin also averts proliferation by intruding the cell cycle and inducing programmed cell death. Furthermore, curcumin can hinder the initiation of carcinogens through suppression of certain cytochrome P450 isozymes.
