Is the turmeric supplement good for joints or arthritis?
Turmeric has been used for thousands of years in Indian medicine for a variety of ailments and conditions. Western researchers are currently studying the active ingredient in turmeric, called curcumin, and its effectiveness for treating many diseases and problems. There have been studies showing that high doses of curcumin can prevent rheumatoid arthritis from developing in an animal model, and provide pain relief and better physical function in osteoarthritis of the knee. You need to take a concentrated curcumin supplement, however, preferably one with peperine, a natural additive that helps the body absorb more of the agent. The ArthritisFoundation recommends 1,200 to 1,600 mgs per day, but higher doses might be more effective.

It is claimed that turmeric has anti inflammatory property, Much of the pain involved in arthritis is the result of inflammation. However from personal experience and being a regular user of turmeric in my food I would say that the effect of turmeric on at least rheumatoid arthritis would be very limited to negligible. Also keeping in mind that this remedy has been around for something like 5000 years and failed to be generally recognized as a way of dealing with arthritis It would be safe to assume that it would not be of any significant benefit .
Why is the colour of the turmeric indicator yellow if the substance is acidic?
I'd suggest (but couldn't establish it from literature) that turmeric powder is yellowish ocra in acidic 'solution', because it gives mustard (made with acetic acid) its yellow color, which is not redish-brown like curcuma is in neutral circumstance.
Added:
From one scource it says: ' In acidic solutions (pH <7.4) it turns yellow, whereas in basic (pH > 8.6) solutions it turns bright red.'

How do you prepare curcumine extract from turmeric using chromatography?
To prepare curcumin extract from turmeric using chromatography, first, grind dried turmeric root into a fine powder and then extract the curcumin by soaking the powder in a suitable solvent, such as ethanol or methanol. After filtering the mixture to remove solid residues, apply the liquid extract onto a chromatography column packed with a stationary phase, typically silica gel. Elute the column with a solvent system (usually a mixture of polar and non-polar solvents) to separate curcumin from other compounds based on their affinity to the stationary phase. Finally, collect the fractions containing curcumin and evaporate the solvent to obtain the pure extract.
