Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Turmeric is a yellow substance that has an acidic character. The acidic solution is unaltered when turmeric paste is added. The acidic solution has a yellow tint. The neutralising reaction causes the yellow colour of the basic solution to turn red when turmeric paste is added.
The correct statement would be that turmeric turns yellow in an acidic solution.
