How are native jasmine cells obtained?

The Arabian jasmine, botanically known as Jasminum sambac, is a plant native to tropical Asia. It is one of the most well-known flowers in the East due to its fragrance and sacred status in Asian religions; it blooms at the end of the day to better release its full olfactory power. Its symbolism is rich. Indeed, this flower is synonymous with purity, gentleness, femininity, and nobility.

The native jasmine cells are whole cells locally harvested from the plant. To obtain them, an environmentally friendly and biodiversity-respecting biotechnological process is necessary. This process involves several stages:

1. Selection of the plant and sampling: Collection of a piece of the plant (leaves or other);

2. Cultivation in vitro of the sampled plant piece: Successive transplantations onto a fresh nutritive medium composed of water, minerals, sugar, and vitamins;

3. Elicitation: Stimulation of cell culture through UV and visible light to produce metabolites (active molecules);

4. Rinsing: Removal of all traces of the nutrient medium;

5. Cell Filtration ;

6. Sonication of cells and dispersion of the extract in thesunflower oil.

This extraction method allows for the preservation of all active molecules present in the plant cells, which gives this compound a complementary action compared to other plant extracts (vegetable oils, essential oils and hydrosols).
