Abstract

This chapter covers primary and secondary information on bioactive compounds with their extraction techniques. This covers all classical and advanced extraction techniques of bioactive compounds from natural sources like herbs, shrubs, fruits, vegetables, biological sources, and secondary metabolites as it is a sustainable approach to preserve bioactive compound for the development of nutraceuticals and drugs. All new composition in drug industries is mixed with natural bioactive substance to balance the loss of human immunity after disease. Bioactive substance is classified into phenolic, alkaloids, flavonoid, carotenoids, and others. There are a lot of health benefits of polyphenols, which can be utilized by nutraceutical and pharmaceutical drugs. The purification and extraction techniques are very difficult to meet consumer demand, but many classical and advanced techniques are working on it. This review covers a brief introduction and classification of bioactive substance with the type of extraction method and their effect.
