Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant of the ginger family, Zingiberaceae. It is native to tropical Tamil Nadu, in southeast India, and needs temperatures between 20 °C and 30 °C (68 °F and 86 °F) and a considerable amount of annual rainfall to thrive. Plants are gathered annually for their rhizomes, and propagated from some of those rhizomes in the following season.
“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.”
