7 Conclusions
The quality control of plant materials is critical whether
a botanical product is to be used as a medical treatment or as
a plant food supplement. For the ultimate protections of the
consumers, quality control should be applied throughout the
various processing stages, from the raw material to the finished
product. Unfortunately, there is no single or superior method to
assure 100% quality control of a product. Instead it takes
a mixture of techniques used in the correct manner, and applied
to the proper tissue, to achieve this goal.
