About the editors
Farid Chemat, Professor
His main research interests are focused on innovative and sustainable extraction techniques (especially microwave, ultrasound and green solvents) for food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications. He is coordinator of a new group named “France Eco-Extraction” dealing with international dissemination of research and education on green extraction technologies.
Université d’Avignon et des Pays du Vaucluse, INRA, UMR 408, F-84000 Avignon, France.
Giancarlo Cravotto, Professor
His research activity has been cantered on pharmacologically active natural products (isolation, structural elucidation, total synthesis and chemical modification). These studies have paved the road to new synthetic procedures and extraction techniques, particularly in the fields of ultrasound- and microwave-assisted protocols and flow-chemistry.
