Learning Objectives


Acquired knowledge:

The student will acquire a general knowledge of the main preparations of herbal products, unit operations that allow the formulation of the preparations, the materials used and the rules of good manufacturing. Practical knowledge of some galenic preparations and extraction and purification techniques will also be acquired.

Skills acquired: Knowledge of herbal preparations; Knowledge of the main extraction techniques; Knowledge of the technological methodologies necessary for the preparation of herbal products


Course Structure

The course will be carried out through frontal lessons with the help of PowerPoint presentations and through group experiences in the laboratory on specific topics as reported in the program

Should teaching be carried out in mixed mode or remotely, it may be necessary to introduce changes with respect to previous statements, in line with the programme planned and outlined in the syllabus.
