Curcumin as a food additive

Curcumin extract, Curcumin element, naphtha, Curcumin ketone and ginger ene, borneol and a half times the treatment such as alcohol, advantageous bravery effect, can increase the secretion of bile and generation of, and promote the gallbladder contraction, and the role of the element with Curcumin is found.
In recent years, natural pigment is being people to take seriously, and development with the certain nutritive value or pharmacological effects of functional natural pigment, pigment industrial development is one of the important direction. Curcumin pigment, also known as "yu golden yellow pigment", these plants Curcumin extract is. Curcumin element has lidan, and do the gas, anti-inflammatory and oxidation resistance, antibacterial, atherosclerosis, analgesic, reducing blood fat, cancer and so on many pharmacological effects. At the same time as a kind of natural pigments, Curcumin E number is E100 pigment tinting strength is strong, and non-toxic, is our country the food hygiene law permits the use of natural pigment of edible, but also the United Nations food and agriculture organization (FAO) and the world health organization (WHO) by using the natural pigment of high safety. Can be widely used for drink, cakes, sweets, ice cream, etc DuoZhong food, is the most the development value the edible pigment food additives of one.
Curcumin molecule containing DuoGe double bond of the phenolic group, carbonyl and etc, it is easy to happen groups chemical reaction. Its stability is susceptible to light, temperature, acidity, etc DuoZhong factors. Curcumin pigment stability also affected by the influence of the light. Some scholars study the Curcumin in different water activity and pigment on the conditions of illumination pigment degradation, and the results show that Curcumin pigment degradation follow level 1 reaction rate. And scholars study the pigment Curcumin solution of direct sunlight 6 h, absorb light value reduced to large extent, about five times the place away from light, and color obviously becomes shallow. This shows, sun direct illuminate of pigment color changes have obvious stimulative effect. So Curcumin pigment in transportation, storage and use of should pay attention away from light.
At present the embedding Curcumin CAS No is 458-37-7 mainly by cyclodextrins, supramolecular chemistryof cyclodextrin and other material of wall (such as maltodextrin etc as material of wall. Cyclodextrins due to its special molecular structure and become the important hole microcapsule wall materials, especially the beta cyclodextrins molecular hole moderate, envelope range is wide, and low production cost, is the only one in the industry of mass production cyclodextrins products. Use of cyclodextrins hydrophobic cavity can generate envelope of content ability, can make the food industry many unstable's active ingredient and cyclodextrins generate complex to enhance its stability. And when ingested cyclodextrins can be directly down into glucose, without any side effects, and cyclodextrins research and development more and more attention.
