Abstract

The title of this article is entitled as “Extraction, Isolation, Identification and Characterization Method Development of Turmeric (Curcuma Longa) by Column Chromatography”. It is a research project.
Turmeric, curcuma longa L of Zingiberaceae family is a widely cultivated spice in India and other Asian countries. Curcumin is the main coloring substance in Curcuma longa and two related compounds, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin are altogether known as curcuminoid. Turmeric is rich in curcuminoids, and recognized for their broad spectrum of biological activities, varying in chemical structures, physico-chemical characteristics as well as the functional properties it posses varied factors for its characterization. This research article basically involves to find a suitable organic solvents, and reliable method of extraction to get maximum yield and then Identification separation process of components by Column Chromatography, their phytochemical study and chemical components analysis by UV Spectrophotometer.
Key findings: Curcumin have been extracted and purified by extraction process that involves maceration and hydrodistillation of rhizomes. The use of column chromatography by 2 different Stationary phase is examples of traditional purification procedures and gives better understanding to identify a suitable method to relay on and get maximum of purified product, with its UV analysis.
