Abstract
TraditionallyIndian saffron comes from the root of turmeric (Curcuma longa ) with a tough brown skin and deep orange flesh. It also called golden spice mainly grown in Asia and central America, which is greatly inspired by many cultures due its great power of anti-inflammatory,medicinal, dye, and as an ingredient attributed throughout the history. Turmeric is rich in curcumenoids , which is a linear diarylheptenoid , with molecule such as curcumin in different chemical groups that have been formed to enhance the solubility to make them suitable for drug formulation.The extraction of curcuminoids is performed by soxhelet extractor. Isolation and purification of curcumminoid (Curumin,dimithoxycurcumin,bisdemethoxycurcumin) is carried by column chromatography and their quantification of curcuminoid in maximum resultant extract by (methanol) is performed used by HPLC methodology. Percentage yield curcumin by HPLC was 18%.Separation of curcuminoids were tested in TLC (Chloroform: Methanol at 95:5) showed Rf value 0.65,0.68,0.55 as curcumin, demethoxycarcumin, bisdemethoxy curcumin respectively.
