Among them DMC & BDMC are responsible for yellow colour of turmeric. For the medicinal use, extraction is done by steam distillation, soxhlation, ultrasonic assisted extraction, enzymatic extraction, microwave assisted extraction. Thus, extracted components are separated and purified and use according to their pharmacological activities like anti-septic, anti-oxidant, anti-microbial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-mutagenic and anti-carcinogenic etc.
