Popis: The extraction of target compounds from biological matrices largely depends on the effectiveness and efficiency of the extraction technique(s) employed. The objective of this review is to discuss a range of ultrasound assisted extraction processes alone or in combination with other approaches. In recent years, ultrasound has proven to be effective in a range of applications for enhancing extraction yields with minimal or no damage to the quality of extracted compounds. This review demonstrates the potential of ultrasound as a pre-treatment and for direct use in assisted extraction processes. The use of ultrasound for extraction applications from plant, animal, marine and food processing streams are comprehensively presented.
