Curcumin is the most abundant curcuminoid in turmeric, providing about 75 % of the total curcuminoids, while demethoxycurcumin and
bisdemethoxycurcumin generally represent 10 % -20 % and less than 5 % of the total curcuminoids, respectively (108).
Besides curcumin, other analogues such
as bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC) and cyclocurcumin are also available in turmeric.
Diferuloylmethane (or curcumin, the primary curcuminoid responsible for turmeric's vibrant yellowish color), demethoxycurcumin, and
bisdemethoxycurcumin.
A Japanese study also found that turmeric improved insulin sensitivity and in addition to curcumin, antioxidant compounds called demethoxycurcumin,
bisdemethoxycurcumin, and ar - turmerone had the power.
On top of that, turmeric has an ORAC score of 127,068 and several curcuminoids such as monodemethoxycurcumin,
bisdemethoxycurcumin.
The important chemical component of turmeric is a group of compounds namely curcuminoids that includes methoxy curcumin, curcumin diferuloylmethane, and
bisdemethoxycurcumin.
Turmeric has three main bioactive components, namely curcumin, desmethoxycurcumin and
bisdemethoxycurcumin.
One study reported that the daily consumption of curcumin and its derivative,
bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC), helped to maintain anticoagulant status by interrupting the process involved in the formation of blood clots.
Other curcuminoids found in turmeric include desmethoxycurcumin and
bisdemethoxycurcumin.
There are three main phytochemicals in the curcuminoid family that are responsible for turmeric's health benefits: diferuloylmethane (or curcumin, the primary curcuminoid responsible for turmeric's vibrant yellowish color), demethoxycurcumin, and
bisdemethoxycurcumin.
The plant's component compounds are known as curcuminoids, and are comprised of curcumin — as we have already seen — along with demethoxycurcumin and
bisdemethoxycurcumin.
