据营养配料网站消息，美国FDA致函Sabinsa公司，批准该公司的姜黄色素C3复合物获得GRAS身份。姜黄色素是一种天然色素，对健康有广泛的益处，可预防前列腺癌、老年痴呆症、心力衰竭等。
在综合审查姜黄色素C3的安全性及毒理学数据后，Sabinsa公司的姜黄色素C3已于2009年获得自我肯定的GRAS身份。此次获得GRAS身份后，姜黄色素C3将扩大其应用范围。由于姜黄色素C3已获专利，因此将不会应用于Sabinsa公司竞争对手的产品中。
部分原文报道如下：
The US Food and Drug Administration has issued a letter of no objection to Sabinsa for the Generally Recognized As Safe （GRAS） status of its Curcumin C3 Complex for use in food and beverages.
Curcumin, the natural pigment that gives the spice turmeric its yellow color, has increasingly come under the scientific spotlight in recent years, with studies investigating its potential health benefits.
As a result, curcumin has been linked to a range of health benefits, including potential protection against prostate cancer, Alzheimer's, protection against heart failure, diabetes, and arthritis.
