▶Objectives
GreenChem aimed to advance scientific knowledge on Hypericum androsaemum and Ruscus colchicus through detailed biochemical analysis and sustainable extraction methods. By implementing green chemistry techniques, the project sought to reduce the environmental impact of plant-based compound extraction while improving yield and purity. The research generated valuable data on antioxidant properties, phenolic content, and essential oil compositions, contributing to future pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications. Beyond scientific goals, GreenChem fostered interdisciplinary collaboration and skill development for young researchers. It also promoted sustainable economic opportunities for local communities by identifying potential high-value plant-based products. Ultimately, the project aimed to balance biodiversity conservation with responsible utilization, ensuring long-term benefits for both scientific advancement and socio-economic development.
