Turmeric belongs to the family Zingiberaceae and is a yellow spice
of high economic importance due to its medicinal value. Cultivated
in tropical and sub-tropical regions around the world, it is used
extensively as a colouring, flavouring and preserving agent. In
recent years, several drugs derived from natural products have been
developed and current drug research is actively investigating the
possible therapeutic roles of many Ayurvedic medicines, most
notable among those being examined is turmeric. The wide range of
pharmacological activities attributed to turmeric come mainly from
curcuminoids and two related compounds, demethoxycurcumin and
bisdemethoxycurcumin. This comprehensive book brings together the
research carried out on constituents obtained from turmeric and
highlights their chemical and biological activities. Comprising 17
chapters, each written by experts in their respective field and
curated by authorities, it will be invaluable to all those who are
involved in the production, processing, marketing, and the use of
turmeric. Appealing to researchers and professionals in natural
products, nutraceuticals and food chemists, this book is exposing
some of the myths and showing areas for possible future use.
