The Benefits of Cucumin






The Benefits of Curcumin

We all use spices to cook with but they also heal better than many herbs, fruits or vegetables! BHARAT AGGARWAL PhD, professor at the the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, has done groundbreaking research in the area of spices and healing.   



Pioneering Biochemist Bharat B. Aggarwal, PhD, of the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, on Discovering Novel and Effective Cancer Treatments  While with Genetech, Aggarwal isolated and determined the structure for the first time of two essential compo­nents of the immune system that he identified as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a and TNF-beta.


DISCOVERY OF CURCUMIN
The discovery of curcumin dates to around two centuries ago when Vogel and Pelletier reported the isolation of "yellow coloring-matter" from the rhizomes of Curcuma longa (turmeric) and named it curcumin. Later, this substance was found to be a mixture of resin and turmeric oil. In 1842, Vogel Jr. obtained a pure preparation of curcumin but did not report its formula. In the decades that followed, several chemists reported possible structures of curcumin . However, it was not until 1910 that Milobedzka and Lampe identified the chemical structure of curcumin as diferuloylmethane, or 1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione-1,7-bis (4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-(1E, 6E). Further work by the same group in 1913 resulted in the synthesis of the compound . Subsequently, Srinivasan separated and quantified the components of curcumin by chromatography (Fig 1A and 1B).

How to Make a Turmeric PH Indicator - The pH of living systems is critical to the systems' function and continuance. The human body, for example, uses a system of buffers to keep its pH, or level of H+ ions, within a range of 7.35 to 7.45. Proteins in the body are part of this buffer system. Basic groups on proteins accept H+ ions when H+ ions are added and the body's pH decreases; acidic groups on proteins release H+ ions when H+ ions are removed and the body's pH increases. Because turmeric is a natural pH indicator, you can use the spice to assess a substance's pH level.

Some like it hot: Study shows direct link between outgoing personalities and a love of spicy foods - An American scientist claims that your personality might determine whether you like spicy food.

** Also see The Quarterly Review of Biology: Antimicrobial Functions of Spices: Why Some Like it Hot "Spice report" by the Quarterly review of Biology." Fans of hot, spicy cuisine can thank nasty bacteria and other foodborne pathogens for the recipes that come -- not so coincidentally -- from countries with hot climates. Humans' use of antimicrobial spices developed in parallel with food-spoilage microorganisms, Cornell University biologists have demonstrated in a international survey of spice use in cooking. The same chemical compounds that protect the spiciest spice plants from their natural enemies are at work today in foods from parts of the world where -- before refrigeration -- food-spoilage microbes were an even more serious threat to human health and survival than they are today, Jennifer Billing and Paul W. Sherman report in the March 1998 issue of the journal "Quarterly Review of Biology". The abbreviated article can be found on the web here.
