Use of Turmeric, the Golden Spice in Kitchen in Different Discipline Areas
Abstract
In the kitchen, turmeric is used for its properties such as spice, color formation, and flavor enhancement. Due to these characteristics, it is also added as an additive in the food industry. Studies have supported its use not only as a food additive but also for extending shelf life and as a natural packaging method. Curcumin, the main component in turmeric, provides natural color in foods due to its coloring property. In this form, it is used as a coloring agent in cheeses, pickles, and various sauces. Additionally, thanks to the curcumin in turmeric, it exhibits antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. These effects associate turmeric not only with its use as a spice in the kitchen but also with other disciplines. Centuries ago, turmeric was used as a traditional treatment method in Chinese and Indian medicine, and today it is frequently preferred as a complementary therapy. Moreover, due to its antimicrobial properties, it is used in medical textile products, dermocosmetic products, and dental treatments. Studies in the health field suggest that it is used as a complementary therapy for serious diseases such as diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's.
