Hypothesis
The review explores how enzymes can enhance the pharmacological properties of natural products derived from plants.
Conclusion
Enzyme-catalyzed transformations of plant products can lead to more sustainable and efficient production of pharmacologically important compounds.
Supporting Evidence
- Enzymes can improve the pharmacological properties of natural products.
- Enzyme-catalyzed reactions are more environmentally friendly compared to traditional chemical methods.
- Supercritical fluids can enhance the efficiency of enzyme-catalyzed reactions.
Takeaway
This study talks about how special proteins called enzymes can help make plant-based medicines better and safer for the environment.
Methodology
The review discusses various enzyme-catalyzed processes for transforming plant oils and other natural products.
Limitations
The review does not provide specific experimental data or sample sizes, limiting the ability to generalize findings.
