Bioactive Compounds: Industrial and Agricultural Applications
摘要
Bioactive substances boost crop output and enable sustainable agricultural methods by acting as organic insecticides, growth regulators, and disease inhibitors. Additionally, they have a significant impact on the creation of nutritional supplements and functional foods that advance human health. They also support environmentally friendly agricultural practices by improving plant growth and soil health. This chapter explores the various applications of bioactive chemicals in agriculture and industry. Because of their innate antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory qualities, these compounds are essential in the formulation of medicines, cosmetics, and nutraceuticals, meeting the growing demand for natural and healthful goods. The chapter also covers current developments in bioengineering, biotechnology, and extraction methods, providing creative ways to maximize the potential of bioactive substances and highlights the importance of these substances in tackling issues related to industry and agriculture, as well as in fostering sustainability and better resource management, all of which lead to the well-being of ecosystems and economies.
