The phytochemical analysis of Curcuma longa L. revealed presence of alkaloid, glycoside, saponin & carbohydrate and analysis of Curcuma caesia Roxb. showed the presence of alkaloid, phenolic compound, flavonoid, saponin, glycoside & carbohydrate. The GC-MS analysis of methanolic extract of Curcuma longa L. and Curcuma caesia Roxb. was carried out. Bioactive compounds like 9-Tricosene (Z), 1-Undescene & 1-Heptadecene, found in Curcuma longa L. have high medicinal properties and bioactive compounds like octanol and oleic acid are the reason behind anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory activity of Curcuma caesia Roxb. Functional groups like N-H, O-H, C-≡C, C=O, C=C, C-H, C-F, C-O-C, =C-H, C-O, C≡N, =C-H are present in both turmeric extracts, which can be proved useful in medicinal purpose.
