Phytochemical extraction of raw plant material is an ancient, effective and sustainable form of medicine. Such extractions can also be utilized for chemical analysis to “fingerprint” or qualify various classes of compounds and to quantify major active constituents.
Classes of phytochemicals can vary widely across species and varieties. These classes are affected and altered by growing conditions such as drought, nutrients, excessive heat, harvest time, ultraviolet exposure and pests. Phytalytics offers certificates of analysis for quantification, qualification and safety of botanical medicine.
