SCIENTIFIC AND ANALYTICAL CHALLENGES IN QUALITY CONTROL, AUTHENTICATION, AND STANDARDIZATION OF MEDICINAL PLANT RAW MATERIALS UNDER CONDITIONS OF MULTICOMPONENT CHEMICAL COMPOSITION VARIABILITY
Keywords:
Their qualitative and quantitative composition varies depending on the botanical species, plant organ, ecological and geographical conditions, growth stage, harvesting time, and processing and storage conditions. Such natural variability poses significant challenges to the authentication of raw materials, the assurance of consistent quality, and the development of scientifically justified standardization criteria.Abstract
Medicinal plant raw materials represent complex multicomponent systems composed of biologically active and auxiliary compounds belonging to various chemical classes.
