Plant Extracts

Plant extracts are mixtures of bioactive molecules isolated from botanical sources using techniques such as solvent extraction, distillation, chromatography, or supercritical CO? extraction. They contain flavonoids, polyphenols, alkaloids, terpenes, polysaccharides, and other phytochemicals with nutritional, medicinal, or functional properties. Plant extracts are widely used in pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, cosmetics, food additives, and traditional medicine research. Standardization and quality control-such as marker compound quantification and solvent-residue analysis-are essential for consistency. Their diverse biological activities support applications in anti-inflammatory therapy, antioxidant protection, metabolic health, and immune modulation.
