Abstract
Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) is a novel methodology, belonging to the so-called “Green Chemistry”, which has gained interest in recent years due to the potential to recover bioactive compounds, especially those from plant matrices. It is widely recognized that the extraction of molecules by UAE gives rise to higher or similar yields than those obtained by traditional extraction methods. UAE has certain advantages inherent to Green Chemistry extraction methods, such as short extraction time and low solvent consumption. The aim of this review is to critically present the different variables and parameters that can be modified in UAE, such as ultrasound power, time, temperature, solvent, and solid to solvent ratio that influence yield and extraction performance.
