Abstract
Turmeric, a well-known Zingiberaceae family member and renowned
medicinal herb in India, is widely used. Indian turmeric is preferred from
other nations because it contains a higher proportion of curcumin. Spices and
condiments are essential to Indian cooking and are a storehouse of
phytochemical and medicinal qualities. With a small molecular weight, curcumin
is a lipophilic polyphenolic compound. Turmeric is the result of extracting the
active component from curcuma longa. Curcumin exhibits several medicinal
properties, such as its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and
anti-cancer properties. Due to environmental factors and metabolic differences,
it has been observed that the chemical makeup of most plants varies with
geographic location. Phytochemistry, antibacterial activity, metal content,
antifungal activity, antioxidant activity, functional characteristics, and
total carbohydrates, total proteins are the main objectives of the current
study.
