What Is An Extract

A plant extract is a substance or an active with desirable properties that is removed from the tissue of a plant, usually by treating it with a solvent, to be used for a particular purpose.

Extraction process

The process must generally be simple, fast, economic, in compliance with the local regulation, effective and selective when needed. However, certain steps may require a long time of process.

Crystallization

Crystallization is the (natural or artificial) process of formation of solid crystals precipitating from a solution.

Chromatography

Chromatography is used for separation of mixtures. A mixture dissolved in a “mobile phase” passes through a stationary phase, which separates the analyte.

Hplc - Semisynthesis

Preparative high performance liquid chromatography is similar to analytical HPLC but features increased injected mass with possibility to “stack” injections automatically.
