Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is generally accepted that plant extracts are the most important sources of biomolecules, which may be isolated from various plant parts. Due to the wide variety of plant species, implementing extraction and purification methods could be challenging for researchers. Successful extraction and purification require a sufficient amount of extracts and biomolecules for characterization. In the same way, evaluating those extracts could highlight essential properties and open their diverse possible usage.
We invite you to contribute your research to this Special Issue of Plants, welcoming articles on plant extraction methods, purification techniques, evaluation of different properties (including antimicrobial, antibacterial, or antioxidant activities), and the industrial applications of plant extracts to acquire an overview of the present status of the research in this field.
Prof. Dr. Lucian Copolovici
Guest Editor
