AI Article Synopsis

  • Turmeric products are popular for their health benefits and contain various active compounds, including curcumin and bisacurone.
  • A study employed HPLC-ESI-MS/MS to measure the amounts of curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin, and bisacurone in different turmeric products like powders and liquids.
  • Findings revealed that curcumin levels were consistent across products, but bisacurone content varied significantly, with the highest concentration found in a high viscosity liquid turmeric product.

Article Abstract

Turmeric products have many useful physiological functions and are widely used as health food and food ingredient. Here, we report the use of HPLC-ESI-MS/MS to simultaneously quantify bisacurone and three curcuminoids (curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin) in turmeric products (high viscosity liquid, granular powder, tablet, and solution). The results showed that the standard values and measured values of curcumin in each product were almost same. Demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin were contained in each products. Meanwhile, the content of bisacurone differed greatly among the products. In particular, the highest amount of bisacurone was found in the turmeric product A (high viscosity liquid, 9.48 g/100 g product). It would become important to consider the bisacurone content in turmeric products.

This study evaluates the efficiency of 20 Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) formulations for extracting curcuminoids and other bioactive compounds from turmeric and emphasize their ability to preserve and enhance antioxidant, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, and skin depigmentation effects. The NADES formulations, prepared using choline chloride (ChCl) combined with sugars, carboxylic acids, glycerol, amino acids, urea, polyols, and betaine, were assessed for their extraction efficiency based on the total phenolic content and curcumin concentration. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was employed to characterize the synthesized NADES and confirm their chemical composition.

The properties, applications, and in vitro bioactivities of turmeric, turmeric essential oil (TEO), and turmeric essential oil by-products (TEO-BP) were evaluated using sensory analysis, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS), and electronic nose techniques. A total of 62 and 66 volatile organic compounds (VOCs), primarily terpenoids and sesquiterpenoids, were identified by GC-MS and GC-IMS, respectively. Distillation temperature, particularly at 90 °C, significantly influenced the color and organoleptic properties of TEO, with variations in VOC profiles driving these differences.
