"Bioactive compounds with health-beneficial impacts are considered as nutraceuticals. There is an increasing demand for nutraceuticals that are helpful in health improvement, prevention, and treatment of diseases. These biomolecules have therapeutic potential, exerting antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and prebiotic effects. These natural bioactive molecules could be obtained from animal, plant, microbial or fungal sources. The global nutraceutical market size is estimated to be about 278 billion USD in 2020, which may reach to 470 billion USD by 2027 (GII Research)"--
