Determining the Extinction Coefficient of Curcumin Alone

After making a solution with a known mass of curcumin (alone, no curcuminoids) and a known volume of ethanol, the exact molarity of the solution was known.  Using a known molarity, it was possible to find the extinction coefficient for curcumin without the other curcuminoids.

The slope of the following graph gives the extinction coefficient of curcumin alone:
The Extinction Coefficient of Curcumin Alone: 57000
