Talk:Curcumin

Colour
I have known for years that boiling cumin hard in water made it turn red, and adding rice made it turn yellow again. Here are possibly related links (to the same paper) which say that the keto form is yellow and the enol form is red: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/328525979_Keto_-_Enol_Tautomerism_of_Temperature_and_pH_Sensitive_Hydrated_Curcumin_Nanoparticles_Their_Role_as_Nanoreactors_and_Compatibility_with_Blood_Cells https://web.archive.org/web/20240605094755/https://www.researchgate.net/publication/328525979_Keto_-_Enol_Tautomerism_of_Temperature_and_pH_Sensitive_Hydrated_Curcumin_Nanoparticles_Their_Role_as_Nanoreactors_and_Compatibility_with_Blood_Cells 119.224.26.241 (talk) 09:55, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

I propose to add : "In a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled human clinical trial study, none of the prediabetic subjects (n=240) treated with curcumin for a period of 9 months developed T2DM." Atchoum (talk) 23:39, 1 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Preliminary research on a limited number of subjects (116 placebo, 119 curcumin). Not a WP:MEDRS review. Does not meet sufficient evidence quality, WP:MEDASSESS. Not usable. Zefr (talk) 00:05, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
