Natural Yellow Turmeric Powder

Elevate your products with the vibrant, golden glow of our premium Natural Yellow Turmeric Powder, a revolutionary water-soluble extract designed for superior performance and natural beauty. Sourced meticulously from the revered rhizome of Curcuma longa, this specialized powder is standardized to contain a potent 10% Curcuminoids, the active coloring principle responsible for turmeric’s iconic brilliant yellow hue. With its Color Index (CI) of 75300 (Natural Yellow 3) and international E-number E100, this ingredient offers both a rich history and advanced functionality for modern formulations.

The Power of Water-Soluble Turmeric Yellow (10% Curcuminoids): Unlike conventional turmeric powder or raw curcumin, which are typically fat-soluble and challenging to disperse in water-based systems, our Natural Yellow Turmeric Powder has been expertly processed to be fully water-soluble. This unique characteristic, combined with its standardized 10% curcuminoid content, offers unparalleled advantages:

• Effortless Integration: Dissolves quickly and evenly in aqueous solutions, eliminating clumping and ensuring uniform coloration in beverages, gels, liquid foods, and cosmetic formulations.
• Vibrant & Consistent Color: Delivers a bright, stable, and consistent natural yellow hue, allowing for precise color matching and reproducible results every time.
• Enhanced Bioavailability (Aromatic/Topical): While primarily a colorant, the increased solubility of curcuminoids in this form also enhances their potential cosmetic and aromatic benefits when applied topically.
• Clean Label Appeal: Meets the growing consumer demand for natural ingredients, contributing to clean-label product development across various industries.

FAQs:

Q: Is Natural Yellow Turmeric Powder (10% Curcuminoids, Water Soluble) approved for food and cosmetic use in the US? A: Yes, absolutely. Our Natural Yellow Turmeric Powder, derived from Curcuma longa (CI 75300), is FDA-approved as a color additive for foods, beverages, cosmetics, and drugs in the United States. It is exempt from certification, meaning it has met the necessary regulatory standards for safe use in these applications.

Q: What does “water soluble” mean for this turmeric powder? A: “Water soluble” means that this specialized turmeric extract powder readily and completely dissolves in water, creating a uniform, vibrant yellow solution without any clumping or visible particles. This is a significant advantage over raw turmeric powder, which is fat-soluble and difficult to disperse in aqueous formulations.

Q: How does the “10% Curcuminoids” assay impact its use? A: The “10% Curcuminoids” assay indicates that the powder is standardized to contain a powerful concentration of the active yellow coloring compounds (curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, etc.). This ensures consistent color strength and efficacy, allowing for precise dosing and vibrant results in your formulations compared to unstandardized turmeric.

Q: What are the primary applications for this Natural Yellow Turmeric Powder? A: This versatile powder is ideal for coloring a wide range of FDA-regulated products, including food and beverages (e.g., drinks, confectionery, dairy products), cosmetics (e.g., soaps, lotions, makeup), and pharmaceuticals (e.g., tablet coatings, capsules). Its water solubility makes it highly adaptable for many liquid and semi-liquid formulations.

Q: How should I store this Natural Yellow Turmeric Powder to maintain its quality? A: To preserve its vibrant color and solubility, store the Natural Yellow Turmeric Powder in its tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, and dark place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Proper storage will help maintain its quality for its typical shelf life of 24-36 months.

Key Properties and Identification:

• Source: Turmeric (Curcuma longa)
• Active Coloring Principle: Curcuminoids, primarily Curcumin.
• Color Index (CI): CI 75300 (Natural Yellow 3) for Curcumin.
• CAS Number: For Curcumin, 458-37-7. For Turmeric Oleoresin, 8024-37-1 or 84775-52-0. I will use the one more relevant to the extract nature. I’ll use 8024-37-1 for Turmeric Oleoresin, as this product behaves like a processed oleoresin/extract.
• E-number: E100 (Curcumin) in the EU and other regions.
• Form: Powder, specifically designed to be water-soluble.

Regulatory Status (U.S. Food and Drug Administration – FDA): This is a critical distinction from previous “Non-FDA Colors” products.

• Food: Turmeric oleoresin (which this product’s functionality aligns with, as a standardized colorant) is FDA-approved as a color additive for foods generally, with certain exceptions, and is exempt from certification. It is listed under 21 CFR § 73.600. This product, being a purified natural yellow from turmeric, can align with this designation for food coloring in the US.
• Cosmetics: Turmeric and its extracts are widely used and FDA-approved for cosmetic use, also exempt from certification. (21 CFR § 73.2600 for Turmeric, which covers its extracts used as colorants).
• Drugs: Turmeric oleoresin is also FDA-approved for coloring ingested and externally applied drugs, exempt from certification. (21 CFR § 73.1600 for Turmeric Oleoresin).

Key Advantages: The “water-soluble” nature and “10% Curcuminoids” assay are significant advantages, indicating a high-quality, easy-to-use, and effective natural colorant suitable for a broad range of food, beverage, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications where native curcumin’s poor water solubility would be a barrier.
