Purification of Plant Extracts

Dear Colleagues,

Separation is one of the chemical reactions that occurs between compounds and solid phases and/or mobile phases. Their combinations are infinite, and every compound should be separated into a single pure form. We are happy to invite colleagues to submit papers outlining examples of compounds and their separation methods.

In addition to this, plants are widely recognized as one of the biggest sources of active compounds used in medicine and functional foods. However, there are various plants yet to be investigated for new novel compounds.

Thus, this Topic is focused on the purification of bioactive natural products from plant resources as well as the various chromatography approaches to analyse these products, including GC and HPLC. Papers on the isolation and structural determination of novel compounds of plant origin, as well as on methods used for their analysis, are welcome for submission.
