Extraction of curcumin pigment as dyestuff and Antibacterial agent from Tumeric (Curcuma xanthorrhizia) tubers was studied .also, the Qualitative chemical tests was done for determine active materials in crud turmeric extract.

The curcumin pigment was isolated and partially scrubbed by using organic solvents.

Detection by HPLC and TLC proved the isolated pigment is Curcumin with partial purity compared to the standard curcumin.

The curcumin showed ahigh efficiency of dyeing for scoured cotton fabric at concentration 25% of curcumin and active biological effect against Gram – positive pathogenic bacteria with large inhibition zones from 12mm to 33mm by using Agar wells diffusion method.
