The purpose of the conferences is to review, discuss, and explore methods for determining the identity, purity, quality, and processing of plants, commonly known as botanicals. Here, the topics generally include, issues such as authentication, cultivation, collection and post-harvest practices for producing quality plant material and chemical, toxicological methods for quality/safety assessment that lead to the preclinical evaluation of the botanicals. Contributed presentations, both oral and poster, are invited. Each session will open with a plenary speaker outlining the current approaches, limitations, and research needs of the topic area.
Speakers will be leading researchers from industry, academia, nonprofit institutions, and government.
Topics Generally Include:
Cultivation, Collection and Post Harvest Practices to Produce Quality Botanical Material
Authentication, Identification and Purity of Botanicals
Approaches Toward Establishing the Safety and Quality of Botanicals
Regulatory Aspects for Safety Assessment of Botanical Products
