title = "A Simple Approach for Curcumin Extraction from Turmeric Roots",
abstract = "Turmeric, particularly its most active ingredient, curcumin, has a long list of scientifically documented health advantages, including the ability to boost heart health and protect against a variety of diseases. Curcumin is one of the most important active components in turmeric, with a wide range of bioactivity and medicinal uses. Preparing samples from biological components is a time-consuming and difficult operation. This study aims to understand the process of extracting curcumin from turmeric and to analyze the appropriate solvent for curcumin extraction. The method used is Soxhlet extraction with acetone and ethanol as solvents. The analysis of curcumin content was carried out using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The results showed that the curcumin extracted with acetone solvent had a higher concentration than the extraction with ethanol. Therefore, extracting curcumin from turmeric using the Soxhlet method, acetone is a superior solvent than ethanol..",
