Key Findings
- Researchers at the Federal Institute of Paraná optimized a green extraction technique to extract β-ecdysone from Pfaffia glomerata
- The study found that the stem of the plant had the highest yield of β-ecdysone at 0.764%
- High-Performance Liquid Chromatography confirmed β-ecdysone in all plant parts, with the highest concentration in the stems
