ABSTRACT

Today, biotechnological procedures are gaining importance in various sectors, such as pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, agriculture, and so on, due to their sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and eco-friendly nature. These methods are studied and optimized to achieve superior quality and quantity of the product as compared to chemical methods. Chemical synthesis strategies have certain limitations, such as environmental pollution, excessive use of chemicals, adverse effects on human health, and high cost. Therefore, plants, animals, and microorganisms are being scrutinized as natural resources of bioactive compounds and are being harvested in the last few years.
