Turmeric

“Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium semitectum, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and C. musae were most sensitive with growth inhibition of over 70%.”

Turmeric essential oil → inhibits growth → Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium semitectum, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, C. musae

“Thus ar-turmerone constituted 87% of the fungitoxic component of the oil.”

Ar-turmerone → constitutes → 87% of the fungitoxic component of turmeric essential oil

“Turmeric pigments are lipid soluble and water insoluble and are sensitive to light, heat, oxygen and pH , which can be overcome by microencapsulation of turmeric oleoresin.”

turmeric pigments → are → lipid soluble and water insoluble

“The aim of this work was to investigate microencapsulation of turmeric oleoresin by complex coacervation using gelatin and gum A rabic as encapsulants and freeze‐drying as the drying method.”

microencapsulation of turmeric oleoresin → is optimized using → gelatin and gum Arabic as encapsulants and freeze-drying as the drying method

“Turmeric pigments are lipid soluble and water insoluble and are sensitive to light, heat, oxygen and pH , which can be overcome by microencapsulation of turmeric oleoresin.”

turmeric pigments → are sensitive to → light, heat, oxygen, and pH
