New phases for analytical scale extraction from plants: Current and future trends

Analyses in the plant field have to cover a wide range of topics, starting from metabolomics quali-quantitative determination single or class metabolites, often dealing with very complex matrices. The development an appropriate sample preparation method is fundamental obtain complete information, because downstream analyses will detect only metabolites previously extracted. choice proper extraction phase therefore utmost importance and most critical parameter be considered. Although studies on plants still mainly adopt traditional approaches, number new phases improved features terms tunability, selectivity and, important, sustainability been developed past decades applied study natural products. This review provides overview adopted for endogenous exogenous metabolites.
