Abstract

Essential oils have a wide range of industrial and pharmaceutical applications hence different novel technologies are recently being investigated to study the extraction of essential oils, enzyme assisted extraction is one of the recent green technology which is being studied extensively to see its effect on the yield of various components like essential oils and bioactive compounds. This review article summarises the spices in which enzyme-assisted extraction has been employed and its effect on the yield of the essential oil as well as the effect on the quality parameters of the oil, various studies, however, confirm that enzyme-assisted extraction increased the yield of the essential oil, which becomes a potential energy-efficient and cost-effective process and can be used at the industrial scale for a wide range of food, pharmaceutical applications.
