Question
There are several techniques (spectrophotometry, acid-base titrations, redox experiments) to answer questions related to quantification and identification of compounds, kinetics of chemical reactions and equilibrium constants. With some background research, write a researchable question that could be answered with one or more of the techniques mentioned above. Propose a research plan to answer the question. This does not have to be a detailed step-by-step procedure, but an overview of the experiment.
Explanation / Answer
Quantify the amount of curcumin present in indian turmeric? How did you characterise the isolated curcumin?
curcumin has phenolic group. so using acid base extraction we can separate the curcumin.
identification can be done using HNMR, 13CNMR, Mass spectrometry, IR spectroscopy.
