Plan: Validation of a method for the HPLC estimation of curcuminoids
Preface: Many methods are available for the assay of curcumin, the major pigment in turmeric rhizomes.These include direct fluorimetric, spectroscopic and HPLC methods. HPLC analysis of compounds is expensive, as HPLC grade water and solvents are used. Considering the expensive nature of solvents used in HPLC analysis, there is a need to develop cost-effective methods for the estimation of compounds using HPLC.
Methodology: We modified a recently-reported HPLC method for the estimation of curcuminoids. The modified method was validated and found to be accurate, precise, specific, reproducible, and rugged.
Outcome: This cost-effective method can be utilized for the speedy and routine HPLC estimation of curcuminoids.
Keywords : Curcuminoids, HPLC validation, turmeric, Cost-effective method
