Modern Chromatographic Techniques of Aromatic Plants

Description

The examination of secondary compounds, minor plant components dispersed very unevenly, is one of the main applications of the analytical methods used for medicinal and aromatic plants. Therefore, proper sample preparation and analyte separation are the primary analytical issues. Chromatography is a method used in laboratories to separate mixtures. A fluid known as the mobile phase dissolves the mixture and transports it through a structure containing a different substance known as the stationary phase. The components of the mixture separate because they move at different rates. The separation is achieved based on differential partitioning between the mobile and stationary phases. The differential retention impacts the separation on the stationary phase that results from minute variations in a compound's partition coefficient. Due to their antioxidant properties and ability to replace added salt in foods, aromatic herbs may help to promote human health. One of the main groups responsible for aromatic plants' benefits, such as cancer protection and cardiovascular and neurological illnesses, is phenolic chemicals. This book is crucial for analysts, quality assurance specialists, and regulators looking for thorough instruction on how to utilize HPTLC to assess whether botanicals adhere to current, good manufacturing practices.
