Identification of botanicals using molecular biotechnology

The available information on the abundance of restorative plants on earth is incomplete, and the data regarding botanicals from various countries differ significantly.The substantial development of the worldwide natural botanical market is attributable to the expanding revenue of global drug companies trading herbal medicines.This essential type of traditional medical care is depended on by approx.72-80% of individuals.Even though numerous restorative plants are readily used, they have never been subject to the same strict quality guidelines as conventional drugs.Nonetheless, it is vital to have specific organic, phytochemical, and molecular tools and methods for identifying restorative plant species so that traditional and novel plant products can be safely used in modern medicine.Molecular biotechnology approaches provide a reliable and accurate way to identify botanicals and can be used to ensure the safety and efficacy of plant-based products.This review explores various molecular biotechnology approaches and methods for identifying botanicals.
