To review the biological activities, therapeutic mechanisms, safety profiles, and industrial food and pharmaceutical applications of turmeric and its bioactive component, curcumin.
Comprehensive synthesis of existing literature investigating curcumin's pharmacology, biological actions, and processing characteristics.
Evaluation of bio-efficacy, bio-safety, toxicity, and technological formulation strategies including nanotechnology-based delivery systems.
Curcumin exhibits broad biological activities, providing documented antioxidant, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, hepatoprotective, and cardioprotective effects.
Therapeutic and functional food utility is substantially limited by curcumin's poor aqueous solubility, chemical instability, and low systemic bioavailability.
Advanced agro-industrial techniques and nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems effectively enhance curcumin stability and cellular absorption for clinical and dietary use.
