Curcuma Longa Extract as a Sensitizer for Singlet Oxygen Generation

Abstract

In this work, the spectral study of aqueous extract of Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) to determine the photodynamic properties. It is established that due to the absorption extract light of wavelength 400-450 nm and intensive fluorescence in the red region of the spectrum, this extract can be used as a sensitizer of singlet oxygen (1Δ
