Abstract:
The use of anthocyanin compounds in different commercial sectors such as pharmaceutical, food and chemical industries signifies the need of the most appropriate and standard method to extract these active components like anthocyanin from fruit, flower and leaf. Along with conventional methods, numerous new methods have been established but till now no single method is regarded as standard for extracting anthocyanin from plants. The efficiencies of conventional and non- conventional extraction methods mostly depend on the critical input parameters; understanding the nature of plant. This review is aimed to discuss different extraction techniques along with their basic mechanism for extracting bioactive compounds from fruits, flower and leaf.
