Summary

A series of experiments and trials will be conducted in order to obtain an increased yield of extract by processing waste boronia flowers following the primary extraction. The application of these technologies will be assessed for fennel, parsley, peppermint and dill. This process and the associated methods developed as part of the project will be a model for future development in other industries.
