Chapter 5 – Extraction of Bioactive Phenolic Compounds by Alternative Technologies

Extraction of bioactive phenolic compounds (BPCs) from plants, fruits, and their by-products is a topic of interest in the last two decades. The main reason is due to the human health benefits associated with BPC consumption. Alternative extraction technologies have found new applications in the field because of advantages in terms of operational simplicity, safety, and high yields in comparison to conventional extraction technologies. This chapter examines the advances in the research done on BPC extraction using alternative extraction technologies. Modifications to improve the performance of alternative extraction technologies are presented and discussed with focused attention on ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), fermentation-assisted extraction (FAE), and enzyme-assisted extraction (EAE). In addition, the important parameters influencing its performance, the basic theory of reactions present, and the direct effect of alternative extraction technologies on BPCs are included. A list of advantages and drawbacks of the alternative extraction technologies on BPC extraction with regard to conventional extraction technologies is summarized. Finally, a perspective and general conclusion are presented.
