Abstract
Plant extracts have long been used for their medicinal qualities and as sources of bioactive chemicals. In recent years, there has been a surge in interest in investigating the possibilities of plant extracts in a variety of disciplines, including medicine, cosmetics, and food. This abstract presents an up-to-date assessment of methods for extracting, isolating, and identifying bioactive chemicals from plant extracts, highlighting advances and problems in this field. The first stage in acquiring bioactive chemicals from plant sources is extraction. Maceration, infusion, decoction, solvent extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, and microwave-assisted extraction are among the extraction procedures used. These approaches strive to extract the target molecules as efficiently as possible while keeping their chemical integrity and bioactivity.
