Experiment code 20.6.3.25
Experiment Title Post-Harvest Extraction and Antioxidant Evaluation of Essential Oils from Leaves of Different Turmeric Genotypes
Research Type Departmental Research
Experiment Background Turmeric leaf essential oil, a byproduct of Curcuma longa, holds potential health benefits due to its diverse chemical composition, including curcuminoids and essential oils. Despite extensive studies on turmeric rhizome, there is a noticeable gap in the literature regarding the specific chemical composition and antioxidant potential of turmeric leaf oil, making this investigation crucial for a holistic understanding of its health-related properties. This research aims to comprehensively analyze the chemical composition of turmeric leaf essential oil and investigate its antioxidant properties, shedding light on its potential therapeutic applications.
