Curcuma amada (Amragandhi Haridra / Mango Ginger)
High-Resolution Rhizome Morphology
Controlled Cultivation Site (Zone B)
The Organicsio Advantage
Our Curcuma amada stock is cultivated using precision protocols that prioritize the retention of volatile essential oils responsible for the characteristic mango aroma. Unlike wild-harvested variants, Organicsio ensures a heavy-metal compliant substrate with controlled irrigation to maximize rhizome circumference. Every batch undergoes High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) to verify the absence of adulterants often found in generic market supplies.
Botanical Morphology & Raw Material
Phytochemical Profile
The rhizomes of C. amada are distinct from C. longa (Turmeric) due to the absence of significant curcumin content. The pharmacological potency lies in its volatile oil complex (1.1% v/w), primarily composed of β-myrcene and (E)-β-ocimene, alongside the labdane diterpene dialdehyde, labda-8(17),12-diene-15,16-dial. These compounds exhibit potent antioxidant and antifungal activity.

- Nutraceuticals: Digestive aids and appetite stimulants (carminative formulations).
- Topical Cosmeceuticals: Anti-inflammatory creams for contusions and sprains (cooling effect).
- Food Industry: Natural flavoring agents for pickles, sauces, and functional beverages.
