“…Conventional techniques are usually based on selecting the proper solvent and using heat in order to increase the solubility of targeted compounds and generally are regarded as time and solvent consuming processes with low efficiency (Dragović‐Uzelac, Elez Garofulić, Jukić, Penić, & Dent, ; Elez Garofulić, Dragović‐Uzelac, Režek Jambrak, & Jukić, ). Nowadays, new extraction techniques have been introduced for isolation of plant bioactives, among which ultrasound‐assisted extraction (UAE) has been one of the most commonly used (He et al., ; Rosellό‐Soto et al., ; Xu et al., ; Zhu et al., ). The advantages of the UAE include shortened extraction time, reduced solvent consumption, lower extraction temperatures, high reproducibility, higher extraction yields and higher purity of the final product (Chemat, Zill‐e‐Huma, & Khan, ; Vinatoru, ; Zlabur et al., ).…”
