Demand for new and novel natural compounds has intensified the development of plant-derived compounds known as bioactives that either promote health or are toxic when ingested. Enhanced release of these bioactives from plant cells by cell disruption and extraction through the cell wall can be optimized using enzyme preparations either alone or in mixtures. However, the biotechnological application of enzymes is not currently exploited to its maximum potential within the food industry. Here, we discuss the use of environmentally friendly enzyme-assisted extraction of bioactive compounds from plant sources, particularly for food and nutraceutical purposes. In particular, we discuss an enzyme-assisted extraction of stevioside from Stevia rebaudiana, as an example of a process of potential value to the food industry.
对新型天然化合物的需求加剧了植物衍生化合物（即生物活性物质）的开发，这些化合物要么促进健康，要么摄入后有毒。通过细胞破壁和细胞壁提取，可以使用酶制剂单独或混合使用来优化这些生物活性物质从植物细胞中的释放。然而，酶在食品工业中的应用并没有被充分发挥其最大的潜力。在这里，我们讨论了使用环保型酶辅助从植物源中提取生物活性化合物，特别是用于食品和营养保健品的情况。特别是，我们讨论了从甜叶菊中提取甜菊糖苷的酶辅助提取，这是一个对食品工业有潜在价值的过程。
