"PHYTOCHEMICAL INVESTIGATION AND PHARMACOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF CURCUMIN BY SPEC-UV-VISIBLE SOFTWARE TECHNIQUE"
Abstract: “Spectral analysis of the isomers of curcumin was studied using Spec-UV Software, for peak picking, graphics printout, Absorbance ratio calculation for selected wavelengths which included MPU Software Platform/Spec UV software workstation and spectral bandwidth of 2nm. Turmeric, a food additive, which has a main component curcumin, has shown surprisingly beneficial effects in experimental studies in the diseases characterized by an inflammatory effects. Several natural substances have greater antioxidant effects, including and curcumenoids. The extract of the curcumin was prepared and chemical tests were performed with structural analysis. The pharmacological properties as antioxidant effects were studied.”
