Proteins turmeric

Recently, curcuminoid synthase has been identified as being capable of forming the curcuminoids in turmeric (Maria et al., 2006). This activity required malonyl-CoA and phenylpropanoid pathway-derived hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA esters as substrates, suggesting that the corresponding protein was a polyketide synthase or an enzyme that was closely related. It is postulated that this activity could be the result of a single enzyme, or of multiple enzymes in sequence. 

This dish makes a great substitute for acid-forming eggs and is loaded with nutrients and fiber from the vegetables, as well as lean protein and calcium from the alkalizing tofu. It s perfect for breakfast or as a quick dinner. Turmeric, a spice commonly used in Indian cooking, is a natural anti-inflammatory.
