Table 2.
Extraction Method | Advantages | Disadvantages | Refs. |
---|---|---|---|
SFE | Uses a green and renewable solvent | Expensive technique | [72,73,74] |
UAE | Short period of extraction Small amounts of solvent |
The large-scale application is limited due to high cost | [59,60,61,62,63] |
MAE | Fast and efficient technique | Increased technical difficulty | [77] |
PEF | Short period of extraction | Degradation of certain compounds can occur from high electric field | [59] |
EAE | High selectivity because of the enzymes’ specificity | Expensive cost of enzymes | [59] |
PLE | Short period of extraction Suitable for phytochemical extraction |
High cost of equipment | [59] |
