Answer 2

Answer:

Here is your Answer.................

Explanation:

Turmeric is a reddish-yellow rhizome. The more prominent yellow colour is due to the presence of the xanthophyll pigment, while the reddish-orange colour comes from carotene pigment. <br /><br />The rhizome contains active curcumene compounds and some organic acids. When these stems are dried and powdered, their concentration increases. When this powder is dissolved in water and a pinch of lime is added to it, the organic acids are neutralised by alkaline lime. <br /><br />As a result, the yellow xanthophyll is suppressed and the orange-red carotene pigment becomes more prominent, so the turmeric turns red.<br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold;''="">G.G.
