When all the methods used in the purification of medicinal
aromatic plants are evaluated, it is seen that the properties of the
components and the purpose of producing the product are important in
the selection of the method. In recent years, it can be said that modern
methods have attracted more attention due to their advantages such as
shorter time, less toxic waste and higher product purity. After obtaining
the plant extracts with appropriate separation and purification methods,
it is important to characterize them with appropriate techniques and to
elucidate their structures. Different analysis techniques are used in the
characterization of plant extracts. When the literature is examined in
detail, it is seen that methods such as HPLC, GC-MS, ESI-MS, NMR

and FT-IR are widely used in the characterization of plant extracts.
Comparisons can be made by using one or a combination of these
analysis techniques to determine the content of plant extracts. The purer
the plant extracts can be obtained in terms of functional components,
the easier it will be to identify the components.
