A PROCESS FOR THE ISOLATION OF AR. TURMERONE OIL FROM TURMERIC OLEORESIN INDUSTRY WASTE

摘要

A process for the isolation of aromatic Turmerone oil from turmeric oleoresin industry waste by extracting the turmeric oil from curcumin free turmeric oleoresin by using a non-polar solvent, filtrating and vacuum drying the extract subsequently re-extracting the residue obtained from the previous extract by the same non polar solvent to obtain the second extract and third extract, concentrating the above combined extract characterized in that by using distillation to obtain the crude turmeric oil followed by fractional vacuum distillation to obtain the two aromatic fractions fraction 1 and fraction 2 aromatic termerone enriched turmeric oil.
