How is a Natural Product?

Today, global environmental problems are one of the increasingly severe situations. Organic Agriculture is one of the new sources of hope for humanity, especially in these days when we are trying to keep up with the speed of industrial formations and consumption. It is a type of production in which the chemical and similar derivatives are not used in the production stages of production, where every stage is controlled, and which is environmentally conscious during production. The transition stages of production are subject to certification process under the control of the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock.

Organic Agriculture, which is defined with different words such as ecological, biological and bio, has also been one of the alternative methods of increasing the use of chemical fertilizers and medicines in agricultural production, adversely affecting the environment and human health and erasing commercial concerns. In Western countries, biological, ecological and bio discourses such as is used in the provision of these words are all in place in Turkey as organic. This production method is used in agricultural and animal production provided that it is subject to the necessary certification. The definition of how natural product is briefly referred to as products found in nature. In other words, they are products that are not exposed to any chemicals or processed and artificially produced, as they are found in nature. This meaning is defined as color, synthetic and chemical-free products in Europe.

Natural Products are substances that are made from living organisms and are found in nature. Naturally, it can be produced through a total synthesis or semi-synthesis process, which plays a vital role in medical chemistry, which presents difficult goals throughout the drug discovery process. It has been extended for commercial purposes for cosmetics, dietary supplements and food created from natural sources. Natural products are the origin of the most complex and absorbent chemical structures and represent natural biological activity, whether as individual compounds or complex mixtures. Natural Products covers Herbal Medicine, Organic Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Science. Natural products normally include classes of prebiotic sources or microbes, plants, natural products terpenoids, polypids, amino acids, peptides, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acid bases, ribonucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid and similar compounds. Natural products are not just products of coincidence or conformity of nature, they are a natural expression of growth in the complexity of organisms.

Agricultural Chemistry

Agricultural Chemistry is a combination of scientific tools and techniques such as genetic engineering, molecular markers, molecular diagnostics, vaccines and tissue culture to change agricultural productivity, quality, diversity and conservation of species. Agricultural Biotechnology has been developed to deal with existing challenges that often cannot be solved by traditional practices. Agricultural Biotechnology also helps with climate adaptation, stress management and disease management. Biotechnology has brought modern technologies to deal with the global food crisis.

Alkaloid

An alkaloid is an organic compound derived from a kind of plant. Alkaloids are usually made of oxygen, hydrogen, carbon and nitrogen. Some alkaloids are considered toxic, but others are often used therapeutically. They are some of the numerous organic compounds that are usually simple and contain at least one nitrogen atom in a heterocyclic ring, and are particularly found in flowering plants. Some alkaloids such as nicotine, quinine, cocaine and morphine are known for their toxic or medicinal properties. Alkaloid magazines - found a very different group, both taxonomically and chemically, containing plants, the basic nitrogen is the only binding factor for countless classes. Therefore, the problems of the biological role of alkaloids in the plant, its importance in taxonomy and biogenesis are often discussed satisfactorily at the level of a definite alkaloid class. A similar situation affects the therapeutic and pharmacological effects of alkaloids. Since most alkaloids are particularly toxic, plants containing them do not show intensive properties in herbal therapy, but have always been important in the allopathic system, where the dosage is tightly controlled, and in the homeopathy where the dose rate is so harmless.
