Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There are many types of natural products in plants, including flavonoids, phenols, coumarins, lignans, alkaloids, terpenoids, steroids, saponins, etc. Natural products from plants have attracted much attention because of their various physiological functions. Today, natural products are applied in medicine, veterinary medicine, antibiotics, insecticides, herbicides and condiments, cosmetics, etc. Traditional extraction methods of natural products often have defects such as high solvent consumption, low extraction efficiency, and environmental pollution. Therefore, it is extremely important to develop more efficient, convenient, and environmentally friendly extraction methods for further applications of natural products. This Special Issue aims to publish high-quality research papers and reviews on novel methods in separation and purification of natural products from plants.
