Other secondary metabolites

N

ot all secondary plant metabolites are volatile.

The Natural Molecules Chemistry Laboratory studies the extraction (including eco-extraction), separation and chemical composition of secondary plant metabolites, as well as their biological properties (antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, etc.) with a view to applications in various fields (mainly phytopharmacy, cosmetology and agronomy).
