Botanical informations
Botanical name :
Curcuma zanthorrhiza Roxb.
Synonyms : - // -
Botanical profile :
Curcuma is a flowering plant belonging to the Zingiberaceae family and the Curcuma L. genus.
Chemotypes :
There are approximately 180 species in the Curcuma L. genus. In perfumery, we mainly use two of them :
- Curcuma longa L. Turmeric roots oil, wich is the most widely used (because it is the one used as a spice so production volumes are huge).
- Curcuma zanthorrhiza Roxb. Temu lawak absolute / Temu Lawak SFE, mainly cultivated in Indonesia
Extractions & Uses
Extraction process :
This plant is cultivated for its rhizome. Once the plant is harvested, the rhizome is separated and washed to remove any residual soil. It is then polished and ground into powder. This is similar to the treatment performed on Ginger EO. At this stage, two types of extraction are possible. Either by extraction with a volatile solvent to obtain an oleoresin ( which is the most common case - Curcuma zanthorrhiza Absolute - as it gives a better yield, around 10-15%) or to obtain an essential oil. Curcuma Zanthorrhiza EO is obtained through the Supercritical CO2 extraction of sliced and dried rhizomes

Other comments :
There is in Turmeric oil a compound called Curcumin that can be used as a precursor for natural vanillin. This compound is also responsible for the yellow orange color of turmeric.
