Studies on curcumin and curcuminoids. VI. Kinetics of curcumin degradation in aqueous solution.
The kinetics of the pH-dependent degradation of curcumin has been investigated. A plot of the rate constant against pH indicates the pKa values of the acid protons. The graph also indicates the complexity of the curcumin degradation.
