Betel nut is a traditional Asian herbal medicine and ranks as the fourth most common addictive substance in world. Refined betel made from original fruit of Areca catechu L. tree through complex processes. has various pharmacological effects, health effects chewing refined have sparked significant concern. The optimization processing techniques essential mitigating harmful products. This article reviews current procedures, major limiting factors technological innovations associated with production. Modern softening including enzymatic treatment, steam explosion microwave technology been developed last two decades to improve softness fiber. To address microbial contamination products, automated production nonthermal sterilization technologies such irradiation are preferred. prevent or delay whitening returning brine, an enhanced brine reaction, compound additives strict control environmental temperature humidity can be essential. Chemical reagents, low-temperature preservation, modified atmosphere preservation coating applied for storage fresh nuts. It was found that optimized methods stringent regulatory measures required chemical pollution widespread integration emerging underscores imperative need update measures. Thus, we hope this review will offer research insights theoretical references reducing harm technology, well formulation updated supervisory
