Pahadi Turmeric: How to Read a Curcumin Report Before You Order

November 1, 2026  ·  Himalayan Region

A curcumin percentage means little without the method behind it. How to read a report and what to ask a turmeric supplier.

Turmeric buyers are used to seeing a curcumin percentage on a specification sheet. Himalayan Region™, a B2B sourcing company in Dehradun, Uttarakhand offers high-curcumin Pahadi turmeric from Uttarakhand, and this note explains how to read the report honestly.

Himalayan Region™: a Himalayan valley with river and terraces in Garhwal

Four things to check on a curcumin report

  1. The method. Is the figure from HPLC or a simpler test? The numbers are not directly comparable.
  2. The sample. Does the report refer to this batch, or a typical one?
  3. The lab and the date. An old report on a new lot proves little.
  4. The basis. Is the figure on a dry basis or as received?

Beyond curcumin

Colour, moisture, particle size and the absence of added colours matter too. Ask whether the report covers adulterants such as lead chromate; reputable buyers test for them. Our existing journal guide to buying turmeric powder covers adulteration in more detail.
