Turmeric extract is derived from the dried rhizome of the ginger plant Curcuma longa L. Contains volatile oil. The main components in the oil are curcumone, aromatic curcumone, zingiberene, etc.; the yellow substance is curcumin. The main biologically active substances are curcumin and curcumone, which have the effects of lowering blood pressure, lowering blood lipids, choleretic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Curcumin is a very important pigment compound that can prevent the auto-oxidation of linoleic acid in food and has anti-cancer and anti-cancer functions. It has been widely used as a natural high-quality food pigment.
1. Efficacy and functions of turmeric extract
1. Anti-inflammatory:
Curcumin is the main active component of turmeric and has anti-inflammatory effects. Inflammation is an important human function. It helps protect against foreign invaders and plays a role in repairing damage. Because curcumin has good anti-inflammatory effects, it can be as effective as some anti-inflammatory drugs in helping to fight chronic inflammation.
2. Antioxidant:
Oxidation is one of the causes of aging and many diseases, so antioxidants can protect the body and delay aging. Curcumin happens to be a powerful antioxidant that counteracts the damage of free radicals. Additionally, curcumin promotes the activity of the body's own antioxidant enzymes.
3. Increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor:
Curcumin improves brain function and reduces the risk of brain diseases. It was previously thought that neurons fail to divide and proliferate after early childhood. However, it is now known to happen. Neurons have the ability to form new connections, but in specific areas of the brain, and to proliferate and increase in number. One of the main drivers of this process is Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor: a growth hormone for brain function. Many common brain diseases, such as depression and Alzheimer's disease, are linked to a decrease in this hormone.
4. Reduce the risk of heart disease:
Heart disease is one of the biggest risk factors for death. Curcumin can help reverse the pathogenesis of heart disease. Turmeric's main benefit for the heart is promoting endothelial function. Endothelial dysfunction has been shown to be a major driver of heart disease and is related to the inability of the endothelium to regulate blood pressure, coagulation, and other factors. In addition, curcumin reduces inflammation and oxidation, which are important factors in heart disease.
5. Good for patients with rheumatoid arthritis
There are different types of rheumatoid arthritis, most involving inflammation of the joints. Since curcumin has anti-inflammatory properties, supplements containing curcumin extract may be helpful for patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
2.Application fields
1. Pharmaceutical industry
2. Health care products industry
3. Cosmetics industry
3.Turmeric production process description:
The raw material turmeric is first sieved to remove mechanical impurities such as rock and other soils, then crushed and then put into the extraction tank to extract 90% ethanol into the extraction tank, 2hat high temperature, repeat twice, merge the two extracts, The ethanol was concentrated, the concentrated solution was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the mixture was extracted for 5-6 times. The extract was combined and the ethyl acetate was recovered. The turmeric oil was concentrated to a certain proportion. The natural crystal was crystallized and refined after 48h Separation, separation of curcumin with ethanol to wash, washed curcumin after vacuum drying, dried curcumin powder over 80 mesh sieve, the final inspection after passing the packaging.

4.Competitive landscape
Turmeric and curcumin products have become a mainstream trend in market development, and the markets for related dietary supplements and food/beverage products continue to grow. Turmeric remains the market leader in the natural health channel, with significant growth in specialty gourmet and multi-channel markets, and sales of turmeric-containing functional foods and beverages are growing rapidly, driven by immune health ready-to-drink beverages. With the increase in downstream demand in the turmeric industry, the turmeric market has developed rapidly, and the growth in market size has intensified market competition.
5. Development trends
The future development trend of China's turmeric industry will be driven by health concepts and industry policies. However, although market demand and policy support provide a good environment for the development of the turmeric industry, the development of the industry will also face some challenges, such as pressure on quality control, technological innovation, and restrictions on market size. In the future, the development of the turmeric industry needs to actively carry out technological innovation and market expansion while ensuring product quality to meet the growing health needs of consumers. In addition, it is also necessary to strengthen the standardized management of the industry and promote the sustainable development of the industry.
1. Market demand continues to grow. Due to the increase in health awareness, consumer demand for natural and healthy products is increasing. As a natural plant extract with multiple health-care functions, the market demand for turmeric will continue to grow. In many fields such as sports nutrition, personal care and cosmetics, food additives and drugs, turmeric will be more widely used, and the types and functions of products will also be more diversified.
2. Technological innovation and product upgrading. With the advancement of science and technology, the turmeric industry is likely to make new progress in production, processing and purification. Enterprises can develop higher-quality turmeric products through technological innovation and upgrade products according to market demand to meet consumers' demand for diversified and high-quality products.
3. Industrialization and large-scale development. Although the current degree of industrialization of the turmeric industry is low, as the market scale continues to expand, cooperation and exchanges between enterprises will become more frequent, and the industry will gradually move towards industrialization and large-scale development. Through resource integration, technology sharing and capital investment, companies will promote the rapid development of the turmeric industry and enhance the competitiveness of the entire industry.
