A recent review on developed analytical methods for detection of curcumin
Keywords:
Curcumin, HPLC, UPLC, LC-MS, TurmericAbstract
Curcumin is a natural yellow pigmented phytoconstituent isolated from the powdered rhizome of Curcuma longa linn belongs to family Zinzieberacea. Curcuma longa linn is commonly known as turmeric (Haldi), a well-known Indian spice used as a traditional medicine from ancient era. In literature, there are different analytical methods for detection of curcumin such as HPLC, UPLC and LC-MS/MS. It contains a mixture of different phytoconstituents, therefore it is problematic to separate, identify and isolate pure curcumin from Curcuma longa linn. Hence, in the present review article we have tried to summarize the important analytical parameters required to analyze the curcumin compound in Curcuma longa linn. as it can help the authors to find out best readings to for identification and isolation of curcumin. This review gives a combined study of various analytical methods used for detection of curcumin with retention time, methods used, column used, wavelength, LOD, LOQ etc using different types of well-established HPLC, LCMS, UPLC methods which can be used for isolation, identification and quantitative estimation of curcumin in Curcuma longa linn.
