natural products are secondary metabolites preserved by natural selection in the long-term evolution process of natural organisms,and are widely used in many fields because of their rich medicinal value.With the development of modern science,the demand for high purity products of natural products is also increasing.Traditional separation methods usually have some disadvantages such as large consumption of organic solvents,poor separation effect,high cost and long cycle,which seriously restrict the development and use of natural products in various fields.the emergence of new separation and purification technology provides a new idea for the extraction,separation and application of natural products.On the basis of summarizing the existing literature,this paper reviews the new methods of separation and purification of natural products,and finally summarizes and discusses the research bottleneck and future development direction of natural product separation and purification。
