Product Knowledge Base
Everything buyers need to know about curcumin extract
Technical depth that helps formulators and procurement teams choose with confidence.
What is Curcumin 95%?
Curcumin 95% is a standardized turmeric extract concentrating the three curcuminoids - curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin - that give Curcuma longa its orange color and much of its biological activity. The 95% figure is total curcuminoid content by HPLC, the industry reference for potency and label claims.
Turmeric sourcing and cultivar
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) rhizome is farmed across India, Indonesia, China and Vietnam, with curcumin content varying widely by cultivar and region. We standardize on high-curcumin cultivars and record cultivar and origin per lot so assay and color stay consistent shipment to shipment.
Extraction and available grades
Production starts from turmeric oleoresin, then purification, crystallization or granulation concentrates the curcuminoids. Alongside standard 95% we offer a water-soluble 10% grade built on a micelle or cyclodextrin system, plus tetrahydrocurcumin 98% and granule grades on request - the water-soluble form is what most beverage and stick-pack formats need.
Formulation and applications
Curcumin 95% suits capsules, tablets, solid beverages, functional foods, natural color and cosmetic actives. Its weak native solubility and bioavailability are the main formulation constraints, so it is commonly paired with piperine, lipophilic carriers or emulsified systems; tell us your delivery format and we will suggest the right grade.
Quality, testing and compliance
Each batch is verified by HPLC for the curcuminoid profile, with heavy metals (Pb, As, Cd, Hg), microbiology, residual solvents and a pesticide screen. Production follows ISO 9001, GMP and HACCP, and COA, SDS, TDS and chromatogram ship with every order; halal, kosher and organic variants are available.
Before you request a quote
Confirm the curcuminoid percentage, whether you need standard or water-soluble grade, particle size and pack size (1 / 5 / 25 kg). Share your target format and any halal, kosher or organic requirement so we can quote the correct grade and lead time.
