Extraction and Analysis of Plant Active Ingredients

[摘要] The extraction of active ingredients from vegetable matter is one of the most attractive research fields in the literature. An objective that promotes this large interest is thepossibility of identifying eco-friendly and innovative processes, active products, and materials. However, care must be taken in selecting processes and extraction conditions tominimize the co-extraction of undesired compounds. The analysis of the composition ofthe extracted compounds by chromatography, mass spectrometry, and related techniquesis a relevant step in determining the performance of the extraction process and the purityof the extracted compounds in order to use them for pharmaceutical applications.
