Turmeric Oil

About Turmeric Oil

Turmeric essential oil (from steam distillation) contains primarily turmerone, curlone and zingiberene — aromatic compounds distinct from the curcuminoids. The oil provides the characteristic flavour and aroma of turmeric without the intense yellow colour. For curcumin (the medicinal compound), the oleoresin or curcumin extract is the appropriate product.
