Enzymatic hydrolysis of plants and algae for extraction of bioactive compounds
Plants and algae contain novel biocompounds with therapeutic potentials. These compounds are either embedded within the cell wall matrix or bonded with polymers at cell cytoplasm, which hinders release of bioactive compounds during extraction. Enzymatic hydrolysis of cell wall and cytoplasm polym...

| Summary: | Plants and algae contain novel biocompounds with therapeutic potentials. These compounds
are either embedded within the cell wall matrix or bonded with polymers at cell
cytoplasm, which hinders release of bioactive compounds during extraction. Enzymatic
hydrolysis of cell wall and cytoplasm polymers enhances the release of biocompounds
while preserving their biological potencies. Previous works have focused more on
comparative studies of different enzymes, whereas other process parameters, such as
agitation speed, substrate particle sizes, hydrolysis time, degree of hydrolysis, and multistage
extraction, have received less attention. This review examines the extent of studies
in this area and highlight current research gaps to be explored in future researches. |
