Abstract
Phytochemicals belonging to the groups phenols terpenes betalains organosulfides indoles and protein inhibitors are important components in fruits vegetables legumes whole grains and nuts that have health promoting benefits and a variety of applications in food and pharmaceutical industries. Initially only a few of these important phytochemicals are produced commercially by chemical synthesis. However recent developments in the field of biotechnology have provided metabolic engineering strategies that use microorganisms as cell factories for high production of these products. This review will discuss the general biosynthetic pathways metabolic engineering and optimization strategies of functional phytochemicals that have received a lot of attention from investigators.
