Analysis
Excitation Emission Matrix (EEM) spectroscopy can easily identify turmeric due to its high fluorescence. Another yellow colorant thought to have been traditionally used, yellowwood also fluoresces very brightly but they give very distinctive EEM spectra making it easy to differentiate between the two. Yellowwood has not been detected so far.
