Extraction, Purification and Functional Substances of Natural Products and Plants

Dear Colleagues,

The extraction, purification, and functional substances from natural products and plants is one of the most popular research fields in the literature. Determining the active ingredients in natural products or plants is essential for their application. The analysis of the composition of extracted compounds by chromatography, mass spectrometry and related techniques is a relevant step in determining the performance of the extraction process and the purity of the extracted compounds to be used for pharmaceutical applications.

Therefore, it is my pleasure to invite you to contribute your research article, communication, or review to this Special Issue dedicated to extraction, purification and functional Substances from natural products and plants.

Dr. Xiumei Li
Guest Editor
