Excitation Emission Matrix (EEM) spectroscopy can easily identify turmeric due to its high fluorescence and clear, consistent pattern. Another yellow colorant thought to have been traditionally used, [[Amur cork tree|Japanese yellow wood]] or kihada also fluoresces very brightly but they give very distinctive EEM patterns, making it easy to differentiate between the two.
