Bisdemethoxycurcumin is a curcuminoid found (along with the curcuminoids curcumin and demethoxycurcumin) in turmeric (Curcuma longa), but is absent in Javanese turmeric (Curcuma xanthorrhiza).[2] Bisdemethoxycurcumin is used as a pigment and Nutraceutical with antimutagenic properties.[3][4] All three of the curcuminoids found in Curcuma longa have been shown to have antioxidant properties, but bisdemethoxycurcumin is more resistant than the others to alkaline degradation.[5]
