Extraction, isolation and quantification of curcumin for possible diabetis treatment

Abstract

Anti-HIV, anti-tumor, anti-viral, anti-cancer, anti-fungal, and ant-parasitic properties of curcumin make it an important active ingredient in many medicines. High-purity curcumin can be obtained using a new extraction method. Increases in production were noticeable. This method of isolation and quantification had a low barrier to entry and was quick to execute. Curcumin was extracted using a soxhlet extraction experiment in this study. Diabetes Mellitus research and development can benefit from high-purity curcumin isolates. Analytical tools currently being developed can also play a significant role in the future quantification of novel dosage forms.
