The turmeric stains turn red when you wash the white shirt with soap or any other deturgent. ... It is because turmeric contains an acid (tartaric acid), while the soap or detergent contains a base (sodium hydroxide)as soaps and detergents are basic in nature. When an acid reacts with a base, neutralization reaction takes place and the stain becomes neutral.and the neutral colour of turmeric(huldee) is red so the stain turns red.
