Is curcumin the same as turmeric?
No—curcumin is the main yellow pigment extracted from turmeric and used as the food color E100, while turmeric is the whole spice/root containing curcumin and other components.
What is turmeric curcumin good for?
As a food additive (E100), it’s used to give foods a yellow–orange color and can help protect color by limiting oxidation; health uses are outside its approved role as a colorant.
How much curcumin per day?
The acceptable daily intake for curcumin (E100) is 0–3 mg per kg body weight per day—about 210 mg/day for a 70 kg adult—from all dietary sources; higher supplement doses fall outside food-additive use.

How to tell if your pectin is amidated?
Check the ingredient label or spec sheet for “amidated pectin,” “LM amidated pectin,” or “E440(ii)”—it may also list a “degree of amidation (DA).” Kitchen behavior isn’t a reliable identifier since both amidated and non‑amidated low‑methoxyl pectins gel with calcium.
What is non-amidated pectin?
Pectin that hasn’t been reacted with ammonia to form amide groups; it’s typically labeled simply as pectin or E440(i). It may be high‑methoxyl (gels with high sugar and acid) or low‑methoxyl non‑amidated (gels with calcium but usually needs more calcium and is less heat‑reversible than amidated types).
