Services

The Botanicals Lab provides research and quality control services capable of offering qualitative and quantitative protocols for commonly used plant matrices, defining their phytochemical profiles for both traditional and consolidated applications. In particular, the Lab’s research activities range from the characterization of multiple raw materials and finished products, which are essential for stakeholders in the sector, to their valorisation from both a commercial and regulatory standpoint. Among the services offered are the development of workflows to support purification and extraction process optimization, combined with analytical control tests and in vitro experiments that complement and support Linneus Consulting’s regulatory activities. Notably, the MSU at TLS has gained solid expertise in preparing dossiers for Novel Food authorizations to be submitted to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
