Article Main Content

Numerous studies are nowadays undertaken across the world laboratories on turmeric and show its excellent virtues in various fields such as medicine, pharmacology, cosmetics, and so forth. In this paper, to enlarge the domain of scientific knowledge, a kinetic and thermodynamic behavior of curcuminoid extraction from Curcuma longa L has been investigated in the dilute medium using ethanol as solvent under a magnetic stirrer. Through the KUNYIMA method, by means of the KUNYIMA first law, the global kinetic constant has been calculated at 250 rounds per minute (rpm) and the data have shown its Constance at 500 rounds per minute at the same temperature (27.5 °C). The kinetic constant can serve to build a commercial tank of production of curcuminoids using the sizing factor to endow the Democratic Republic of the Congo with its home technology of curcuminoids extraction as is hereby discussed. Extraction enthalpy and entropy have been calculated in a closed system using the Arrhenius relation. The results of enthalpy indicate that the extraction of curcuminoids is an endothermic phenomenon. This endothermic behavior of the extraction of curcuminoids in ethanol under a magnetic stirrer probably suggests the predominance of the enol form of curcumin in presence of its tautomeric ketone form. Also, the extraction of curcuminoids in ethanol is an endothermic phenomenon and this last phenomenon probably suggests its non-bioavailability. The energy promoting solubilization of curcuminoids arises from the solvent, under a magnetic stirrer, that can meet its alike with the hydroxyl group (like dissolves like). The value of the variation of entropy has evidently suggested the disturbance of the natural order after extraction. Note that KUNYIMA's second law has been hereby announced.

Keywords: Enol Form, KUNYIMA First Law, KUNYIMA Second Law, Non–Bioavailability, Sizing Factor.
