چکیده
Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) is widely utilized as a spice, food colorant, and preservative in India, China, South-East Asia. With containing potential turmeric extracts compounds, it has been traditional medicine for various diseases counting diabetes, hepatitis, hemorrhoids, hysteria, indigestion, skin disease, inflammation, anorexia, hepatic disorders, cough, sinusitis, etc. So far, large number of work conducted to find prove biological activities pharmacological applications its both animals humans. In particular, curcumin (diferuloylmethane), characteristic component with major yellow bioactive feature, found possess numerous actions. Nonetheless, the polyphenol compound limited human disease treatments even though adequate studies are animal trials. Plenty ongoing also contributing significantly this promising molecule that forefront therapeutics well health benefits. Thus, some considered non-toxic highly compounds lot potentially functions based on an appropriately used dose. It expected can be explored novel medical future effectively against or treat diseases. Here, we hope likely good right approach using encouraging product, chemical components effective clinical will briefly summarized treatments.

متن کاملNovel polymorphic microsatellite markers from turmeric, Curcuma longa L. (Zingiberaceae)
Twenty one polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized from turmeric (Curcuma longa L.). These markers were screened across thirty accessions. The number of alleles observed for each locus ranged from two to eight with an average of 4.7 alleles per locus. The discrimination power of these markers ranged from 0.25 to 0.67 (average 0.6). The simple sequence repeat (SSR) marker...

متن کاملEST-SSR marker revealed effective over biochemical and morphological scepticism towards identification of specific turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) cultivars
Turmeric (Curcuma longa L., family Zingiberaceae) is one of the most economically important plants for its use in food, medicine, and cosmetic industries. Cultivar identification is a major constraint in turmeric, owing to high degree of morphological similarity that in turn, affects its commercialization. The present study addresses this constraint, using EST-SSR marker based, molecular identi...
