Pulse electric field (PEF)-assisted extraction of bioactive compounds from plant biomass.

Plant Source	PEF Extraction Protocol	Remark	Reference
Orange peel	60 μs (20 pulses of 3μs), 7 kV/cm	Improved naringin and hesperidin, total phenolic compounds increased up to 192%	[163]
Button mushroom	85 °C, 38.4 kV/cm	Increased yield of polysaccharides, phenolic compounds, and protein, a synergistic effect of temperature and electric pulses	[164]
Grape juices	1.5 kV/cm, electric conductivity-20 mS/cm, 50 Hz	Increasing anthocyanin, Vitamin C, and bioactive compounds having higher antioxidant potential	[165]
Borago leaves	300 Hz, 30 kV, 200 A current,	Polyphenol and antioxidant potential increased between 1.3 and 6.6-fold and from 2.0 to 13.7 fold, respectively as compared with conventional methods	[166]
Apple juice	3 μs, 3 kV/cm, electric conductivity-2.3 mS/cm	Higher polyphenols content and reduced processing time as compared with conventional methods	[167]
