You are free to spice your food as you wish. Some people just like to use salt and black pepper. I have sometimes used a mixture of ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise, which works very nicely for some dishes. You can use barbecue sauce (which comes in many different varieties) if you like. Experiment with seasoning and find out what tastes good to you.
Turmeric Powder is one substitution.
You can use a combination of cumin, turmeric, coriander, and other spices to replace curry powder in a recipe.
Turmeric is yellow in an acidic solution.
If you don't have ground turmeric, you can use curry powder as a substitute, as it often contains turmeric along with other spices. Alternatively, fresh turmeric root can be grated and used in place of the ground version, though you'll need to adjust the quantity since fresh turmeric is more potent. For a similar color and some health benefits, consider using ginger, though the flavor profile will differ.
To use a Lovibond tintometer for a turmeric color test, first prepare a turmeric solution by dissolving a known quantity of turmeric powder in distilled water or an appropriate solvent. Next, fill the tintometer cuvette with the solution and place it in the tintometer, ensuring proper alignment. Adjust the color filters until the reading matches the color of the turmeric solution, allowing you to quantify its color intensity based on the Lovibond scale. Finally, record the color value, which can be used to assess the quality or concentration of the turmeric.

Yes, you can generally use turmeric if you are allergic to aspirin and ibuprofen, as turmeric is a natural spice and not chemically related to these medications.

There is no real substitute for saffron. However, you can use turmeric (but be careful when using as turmeric, it has a very strong taste and a little bit too much can overpower the flavour of the dish).
Yes, turmeric can spoil over time, especially if not stored properly. Ground turmeric typically has a shelf life of about three to four years, while fresh turmeric root lasts about one to two weeks in the refrigerator. Exposure to moisture, heat, and light can accelerate its degradation, leading to a loss of flavor and potency. To maximize its shelf life, store turmeric in a cool, dark place in an airtight container.
