      Developing strategies for the use of natural resources and turning them into useful biomolecules and products at an economical cost is the need of the hour. Biomolecules have huge commercial and industrial applications due to their wide bioactive potential and biological activities. In regard to this, biomolecules obtained from natural resources, having biological activity can be used in the development of novel products and applications. Biomolecules have unique properties such as biodegradability, non-toxicity, biocompatibility, bioavailability, they are eco-friendly, and have diverse applications. These compounds can be defined as secondary metabolites and are produced as the primary biosynthetic pathway and metabolic routes of chief biological compounds associated with growth and development. Biomolecules can be extracted from several organisms ranging from cyanobacteria, bacteria, fungi, algae, viruses, plants, corals, and fish. In nature, biomolecular interactions are mostly associated with biochemical and biological diversity, especially in light of the discovery of associated biomolecules from various bioresources. These biologically active molecules derived from nature have novel applications which contribute to the wide range of natural product-based preparations and formulations currently being developed on an industrial/pilot scale. The understanding of the bioprocessing and applications of these biomolecules will help its value addition in the sectors of agriculture, food, biopharma, nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals, therapeutic, and the environment. Thus, this book deals with the recent breakthrough in the technological progress and applications of naturally derived biomolecules. It provides students and researchers with important information about the natural sources of biomolecules, strategies of production, their pharmacological and health promoting properties, their advance use in drug therapy, and other possible future applications. This book also throws light on emerging techniques for studying naturally bioactive molecules.
