Turmeric is a spice made from the rhizomes of the ginger plant Curcuma (Curcuma longa, Curcuma aromatica, Curcuma amada, Curcuma caesia, and Curcuma angustifolia) (Zingiberaceae). Rhizomes are horizontal underground stems that produce both roots and shoots. Turmeric's vivid yellow colour is primarily due to fat-soluble polyphenolic pigments known as Curcuminoids. For this study, ethanol was used to extract the rhizomes of five Curcuma species (Curcuma longa, Curcuma aromatica, Curcuma amada, Curcuma caesia, and Curcuma angustifolia). Flavonoids, tannin, saponins, and diterpenoids were among the phytochemicals found in the plant species. Plants have therapeutic qualities due to the phytochemical substances they contain. Non-nutritive plant chemicals with disease-preventive characteristics are known as phytochemical components.
