        abstract = {Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) is a valuable medicinal and industrial crop widely recognized for its bioactive compound, curcumin, which possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer properties. The increasing demand for natural therapeutics and food additives has intensified research on efficient extraction, characterization, and utilization of curcumin. This review summarizes recent advances in curcumin extraction technologies, analytical techniques, and process optimization strategies Conventional solvent extraction methods using ethanol Methanol and Acetone have demonstrated curcumin yields ranging from 2% to 12.9%, with extraction efficiency significantly influenced by temperature, particle size, extraction time, and solvent-to-solid ratio. Modern approaches, including ultrasound-assisted extraction, pulsed electric field (PEF), high hydrostatic pressure (HPP), ohmic heating and supercritical fluid extraction, have shown potential to enhance curcuminoid recovery while preserving product quality. Advanced analytical tools such as UPLC-MS/MS, FT-NIR spectroscopy, PCA, OPLS-DA, HPCL, UV-Spectroscopy and hierarchical cluster analysis have enabled rapid quantification, quality assessment, and geographical discrimination of turmeric samples based on curcuminoid profiles. Furthermore, turmeric processing residues rich in starch and biomass present opportunities for value-added applications in food, pharmaceutical, and bioenergy industries. The reviewed studies demonstrate that integrating optimized extraction processes with modern analytical and biotechnological approaches can improve curcumin recovery, product standardization, and economic returns for turmeric producers. These developments support the sustainable utilization of turmeric as a high-value agricultural and industrial resource.},
