This project aims to study the extraction process of natural compounds (e.g., phytochemicals), which exhibit therapeutic (e.g., anticancer) properties found in Nicaragua’s tropical plants. This study is focused on obtaining said natural compounds with a minimum loss of biological activity by varying extraction conditions, such as temperature, pressure, and solvent, amongst others. Furthermore, said natural compounds may also be used as food and pharmaceutical additives.
