ONS:
1. What is the colour obtained when turmeric powder is added to lime water?​

Answer 1

Answer:

When this powder is dissolved in water and a pinch of lime is added to it, the organic acids are neutralised by alkaline lime. As a result, the yellow xanthophyll is suppressed and the orange-red carotene pigment becomes more prominent, so the turmeric turns red.
