Separation of curcuminoids from turmeric - comparison of polar embedded and C18 solid core HPLC columns

Instrument Type: HPLC

The Thermo Scientific Accucore Polar Premium HPLC column has a polar-embedded C18 surface on a superficially porous silica substrate. This chemistry provides a selectivity that resolves the major and minor components of turmeric under simple isocratic conditions in about three minutes, while C18 columns fail to separate these components.
