Effects of Plant Extracts on Different Enzymes Activity: A Review

Enzymes are bio-catalytic molecules that are used in different catalytic reactions.These enzymes' bio-catalytic activity causes food quality to rapidly decline, and some of them can even harm people's health.Therefore, controlling these enzymes is necessary to preserve food quality, increase its shelf life, and prevent certain disorders linked to human health.An alternate technique for controlling these biocatalysts is the use of inhibitors.There are several different natural and synthetic sources of enzyme inhibitors.The purpose of this review is study the effects of plant extracts on enzyme activities (mostly as enzyme inhibitors) specifically those that are related with human health.Particularly, the inhibitory action by natural plant extracts on the enzymes lipase, protease, -amylase, and -glucosidase.
