Features: Resource, environment, and sustainable development issues have become global hot topics facing human society, requiring precise and efficient utilization of biological resources. China is rich in biological resources, with each species composed of multiple substances, all of which belong to the primary and secondary metabolites of animals, plants, insects, marine organisms, and microorganisms, also known as natural products. This constitutes a rich and diverse natural product resource. The study and deep-processing utilization of chemical substances in organisms hold significant socioeconomic value. Natural product extraction technology involves the application of chemical engineering principles and methods to extract, separate, and purify chemical substances from biological components. Based on extensive literature review and combined with production practices, this book systematically elaborates on the principles, characteristics, and applications of natural product extraction and separation methods, as well as the extraction and separation process characteristics of various natural products. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in food science and engineering, pharmaceutical engineering, pharmacy, bioengineering, biotechnology, and biochemical engineering. It can also be referenced by technical personnel and production management personnel in related fields.
