Written with researchers in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, as well as students studying related disciplines, this book is a useful resource in understanding the current role and future potential of curcumin in the food, pharma and cosmetic industries. Curcuminoids are known to have several therapeutic effects, including the treatment and prevention of infectious and non-infectious diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, psoriasis, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, dementia, diabetics, etc.Recent technological advancements have enhanced their pharmacokinetics properties relating to solubility, stability, bioavailability, thereby supporting the application of curcuminoids in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
- Addresses the application of curcumin in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries
- Covers a wide range of aspects surrounding curcumin, starting with the basics and then addressing new and advanced technologies
- Explores curcumin's chemical structure and its analogues, along with novel technologies, including nanotechnology, to enhance usability and performance
Researchers in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries, as well as students studying related disciplines
