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.

No. Glutamic acid (E620) is an amino acid, while glutamine is its amide derivative; they’re related but chemically distinct and serve different roles.
Is glutamate the same as glutamic acid?
They’re the deprotonated (glutamate) and protonated (glutamic acid, E620) forms of the same molecule; at typical physiological and food pH, glutamate predominates.
Is glutamic acid acidic or basic?
Acidic—glutamic acid has two carboxyl groups and is largely present as its negatively charged form (glutamate) at neutral pH.
Is glutamic acid the same as glutamate?
Yes—glutamate is the ionized form of glutamic acid (E620); which term is used depends on pH or whether it’s in a salt (e.g., MSG).
Are glutamate and glutamic acid the same?
Yes—they refer to the same substance in different forms: glutamic acid is the acid, and glutamate is its anion or salt.
