Enzyme-Assisted Extraction
摘要
The extraction of compounds from plant and animal sources that have medicinal properties are known as bioactive compounds, which can either improve health or can be hazardous. As novel natural compounds from various plants are uncovered, we are discovering more biologically active compounds. Enzymes can be employed to extract such bioactive compounds by rupturing plant cells. The extraction of a bioactive compound such as stevioside from a stevia plant with the assistance of enzymes is a better example of processing with potential utility for the food sector. The extraction of bioactive compounds from plant sources with the help of environment-friendly enzymes, especially for food, nutraceutical, or pharmaceutical uses, is a cutting-edge technology used in these industries. This study explains the overall idea about bioactive compounds, their extraction processes, importance, and uses.
