Botanical ingredients: the key link in Colombia for the development of innovative and natural pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food products

Botanical ingredients are widely used in food, dietary supplements, cosmetics, drugs, and other products. These ingredients may either be made as fresh material, dry and ground material, or as valorized sub-products obtained following more complex industrial process such as extraction, concentratio...
