Advances in Natural Products Analysis

During the last decade, spectacular progress was made in the field of natural products analysis concerning isolation, separation techniques and chemical structure determinations. This offers new perspectives for a better understanding of biological activities of complex natural mixtures used in flavour, fragrance and cosmetic industries, including their sensory and toxicological properties.
As today consumer trends point to a real interest in natural goods, it has become more important than ever to obtain the comprehensive knowledge and characterization of natural raw materials.
In fact, natural raw materials provide an infinite source of widely diversified molecular compounds. This unique resource requires highly sophisticated analytical chemistry strategies and technologies to characterize complex natural mixtures.
This scientific event is the opportunity for leading international experts in this field to highlight the latest advances in analytical methods related to natural products.
