Workshop on alternative solvents for extraction, puriﬁcation
and formulation (WAS2014)Workshop international sur les solvants alternatifs pour l'extraction,
la puriﬁcation et la formulation (WAS2014)Foreword
Nowadays, solvents are widely used in manufacturing
processes such as perfume, cosmetics, pharmaceutical,
food ingredient, nutraceutical, biofuel or ﬁne chemical in-
dustries, where they are used for extraction, puriﬁcation,
formulation or synthesis processes. Recent trends in natu-
ral product chemistry have largely focused on ﬁnding so-
lutions that minimize the use of solvents or alternatives to
petroleum solvents. This must be achieved while also
enabling process intensiﬁcation and a cost-effective pro-
duction of high-quality extracts.
The objective of this workshop was to provide a com-
plete picture of the current knowledge on alternative and
green solvents used at laboratory and industrial scales for
extraction, puriﬁcation, formulation, and synthesis of nat-
ural products in terms of innovation, original methods and
procedures, and safety of the products. The workshop was
aimed at professionals from industry, academic researchers
and lecturers engaged in natural product chemistry, and
graduate-level students. The scientiﬁc program consisted
of 13 conferences with highly recognized experts and 34
posters by young researchers and PhD students.
More than 180 scientists and experts from industry
(50%) and academia (50%) from 15 countries have partici-
pated in this workshop held in Avignon, France, a venue
that created an environment for information exchange,
generation of new ideas, and acceleration of applications
that beneﬁt science and society. WAS2014 had served as a
catalyst for the advancement of research in the ﬁeld of
‘‘alternative solvents’’ by connecting scientists and experts
within and across disciplines (extraction, synthesis,
formulation, and puriﬁcation) from around theworld in the
vibrant City of the Popes, Avignon, France.

pharmacie ou la valorisation de la biomasse met en œuvre,
directement ou indirectement, des solvants issus de
ressources fossiles, devenus incontournables dans ces
differents secteurs d'applications. L'utilisation de ces sol-
vants petroliers est de plus en plus souvent montree du
doigt pour leur participation a la pollution environ-
nementale et a l'effet de serre. Par ailleurs, l’epuisement
progressif des ressources petrolieres et le durcissement de
la reglementation incitent les industriels, mais aussi les
chercheurs academiques, a s'orienter vers la recherche et
l'utilisation de solvants alternatifs plus respectueux de
l'environnement.
Cette journee thematique sur les solvants alternatifs
pour l'extraction, la puriﬁcation, la synthese et la formu-
lation a permis aux domaines utilisant des solvants d'entrer
dans leur revolution « verte », en operant une mutation
vers des solvants alternatifs issus de la biomasse. Plus de
150 chercheurs et experts, representant plus de 55 pays,
venant du milieu industriel (50 %), mais aussi academique
(50 %), ont participe a cette premiere rencontre sur les
solvants alternatifs (WAS2014), qui s'est tenue a Avignon
(France), la Cite des papes.
