Abstract
Abstract:
Curcumin is a lipophilic polyphenolic yellow compound extracted from Curcuma longa
Linn. (turmeric) rhizome with a broad spectrum of pharmacological and medicinal properties
as propounded by several in vivo, in vitro, and clinical studies. Considerable research over the
past century has been extensively carried out on chemical, biological, and analytical perspectives
of curcumin. Nowadays, curcumin is widely used in food and pharmaceutical formulations due to
its excellent health benefits. Therefore, characterization and quantification of curcuminoids in
nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals are required to measure their quality control parameters to address
issues related to processing and storage. This review article specifies the current exploration
of analytical methodologies used to extract and quantify curcuminoids in different matrices.
Moreover, this review offers phytochemistry, synthetic and biosynthetic pathways, extraction
methodologies, degradation and metabolism pathways, and health benefits of the curcumin scurrying
from the kitchen shelf toward the clinic.
