Chemical Information
FooDB NameCurcumin
DescriptionCurcumin, also known as diferuloylmethane or turmeric yellow, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as curcuminoids. These are aromatic compounds containing a curcumin moiety, which is composed of two aryl buten-2-one (feruloyl) chromophores joined by a methylene group. Curcumin is found, on average, in the highest concentration within turmerics (Curcuma longa) and curry powder. Curcumin has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as atlantic herrings (Clupea harengus harengus), saskatoon berries (Amelanchier alnifolia), peanuts (Arachis hypogaea), lettuces (Lactuca sativa), and green bell peppers (Capsicum annuum). This could make curcumin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Curcumin.
