Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name BIS-DEMETHOXYCURCUMIN.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.

Bisdemethoxycurcumin

Bisdemethoxycurcumin is a beta-diketone that is methane in which two of the hydrogens are substituted by 4-hydroxycinnamoyl groups. It has a role as a metabolite and an EC 3.2.1.1 (alpha-amylase) inhibitor. It is a polyphenol, an enone, a beta-diketone and a diarylheptanoid. It is functionally related to a 4-coumaric acid. — ChEBI
