extraction methods, cultural heritage, plants extract.
Since ancient times, plants were used for different purposes: even we talk about medicine, construction materials, food or feed. In modern times, plants are a huge factory of compounds which can replace synthesis and hazardous compounds, being appreciated like raw materials in different fields. In the field of cultural heritage protection there is an urgent need to develop innovative, eco-sustainable, and safe solutions, so, plants’ constituents can be an excellent choice. In this context, our short review intends to present a critical opinion on aspects regarding obtaining methods of plants extract, some aspects regarding chemical active compounds, and their application in the cultural heritage domain, being a starting step for a future trans disciplinary study, which offers links between multy disciplinary sciences: chemistry, biology, restoration and conservation.
