Overview

Curcumin is the principal pigment of turmeric and provides intense bright yellow colour even at low dosages. It is oil-soluble by nature but is offered in water-dispersible forms for broader application ranges. Curcumin is generally heat-stable and suitable for products across acidic pH ranges. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Handling & Regulatory

Store protected from light and oxygen in cool, dry conditions. Use FIFO and request batch-specific TDS/COA for regulatory declarations in your target market. Curcumin is heat-stable and performs well in acidic pH applications, but test for permanence in your processing conditions. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Technical note:

Where clarity or permanence is critical (e.g., clear beverages), use specialised beverage-grade water-dispersible curcumin dispersions designed for stability and clarity. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
