Table 2.

Comparison of advantages and disadvantages of novel extraction method.

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]
