Industries such as the food and pharmaceutical industries use turmeric as an essential ingredient in a large number of products. Manufacturers and distributors can gain significant advantages by importing organic or conventional turmeric in quantities starting from 1,000 kg, directly from the producer to their warehouses. This way, they obtain greater profit margins. The secret to becoming a turmeric importer lies in relying on a comprehensive import and outsourced spice manufacturing company like Bull Importer.Turmeric originates from Southeast Asia, where it has been used for centuries as a seasoning, a coloring agent, and for medicinal purposes. Its roots or rhizomes, with an intense orange-yellow color, are used in various preparations. In the West, turmeric is popularly known because it is the main ingredient in curry, a very common seasoning in Asian cuisine. However, in the industry, this root is marketed for many purposes.Importing turmeric wholesale directly from the producer, with the support of a comprehensive management company, increases profit margins for the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and textile industries, where its use as a coloring agent is very common.Common presentations include powder, extract, essential oil, and capsules. Its most common form in the industry is ground or in oil. In addition to being the essence of curry, it is used to enhance the color, flavor, and aroma of many foods. In the food industry, the active ingredient in turmeric, curcumin, is used as a healthy substitute for tartrazine (a chemical coloring agent). Curcumin has a wide range of applications. It is found in snacks, cereals, ice creams, cookies, margarines, cheeses, yogurts, confectionery, soft drinks, broths, edible oils, and mayonnaises, among other foods.Its use is also common in other industries to provide yellow tones in fabrics, leather, wood, waxes, oils, and stationery. In cosmetology and pharmaceuticals, it is applied as a fixative and fragrance in the manufacture of perfumes, sunscreens, creams, and beauty products.It is identified on food labels as E-100. It is considered a safe additive and accepted as a coloring agent by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) of the United States and by other international organizations.
