Plant Phenolics in Sustainable Agriculture

Abstract

Several biotechnological techniques are increasingly being employed in plants to enhance their nutritional value and phenolic compound content. As a result, the number of studies regarding the effects of different biotechnological techniques has risen in the last years. Current studies are specially focused on the high phenolic extraction conditions, and recently, the use of industrial by-products as a potential source of bioactive compounds has been studied. To fully comprehend the potential benefits of biotechnological techniques on plant phenolic improvement, research should focus on the advantages, characteristics, and difference of biotechnological techniques in contrast to conventional and emerging process extraction in plants. This chapter aims to describe the state of the art on plant phenolics enhanced by biotechnological techniques.
