Technologies for Extraction of Bioactive Compounds and Its Applications
摘要
The successively growing consumer interest in natural bioactive compounds associated with human health promotion and disease prevention has received huge attention in the food market toward effective extraction techniques. Bioactive compounds can be extracted from natural sources and commercially utilized in the development of nutraceuticals and functional foods. Various novel extraction technologies, such as supercritical fluid extraction, ultrasound and microwave-assisted extraction, and accelerated solvent extraction, have been considered effective for large-scale recovery, less extraction time, and superior extract quality. The choice of an appropriate extraction technique could be based on the final applications or the process optimization of bioactive compounds. This chapter aims to present conventional and emerging techniques suitable for extraction of bioactive compounds from natural sources and its potential utilization in food and nutraceutical industries.
