ABSTRACT

Nature has its own ways of creating, destroying, and transcending to heal. With the advent of progression encompassing all the spheres; human civilization has evolved, suffered, and sustained. Sufferings have always led to a surge in a directive transformation. Human health is not an exception to the acceptance of healing conferred by nature in the form of available flora and fauna. Food and nutrition both go hand in hand to attain and maintain optimal health. To balance and fill the voids created by any unwanted health suffering or disease; food has now become the medicine as well in the form of nutraceuticals. Nutraceuticals are being explored now extensively for their inherent medicinal importance. However, their consumption as medicinal entity relies on their isolation as an active moiety; which further requires sophisticated technological methods. This chapter principally highlights different techniques working for extraction and isolation of nutraceuticals for their optimum use.
