Plant bioactive compounds are important sources for the development of food, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical products. Ultrasound-assisted extraction is one of the promising methods in the extraction of plant bioactive compounds. The ultrasonic-assisted extraction is accepted as a green extraction technique due to its high performance with less solvent and time consumption, as well as suitable for thermo-sensitive compounds. The objective of this paper is to review the recent advancement of ultrasound-assisted extraction for bioactive compounds from plant material. The mechanism and advantages of ultrasound-assisted extraction are discussed, particularly focusing on the extraction of bioactive compounds such as phenolics, flavonoids, thymols, saponins and proteins. Previous studies on the optimization of extraction variables are systematically reviewed to reveal their significant contribution to the yield and quality change of bioactive compounds. Ultrasonic technology has also been combined with other processing technologies to improve food quality, stability, safety and security. Therefore, ultrasound-assisted extraction is effective to recover bioactive compounds from plant materials and enhance the processing of food industries.
植物生物活性化合物是开发食品、营养保健品、化妆品和制药产品的重要来源。超声辅助提取是提取植物生物活性化合物的一种很有前途的方法。由于其具有高效、低溶剂和时间消耗的特点，以及适用于热敏化合物，因此超声辅助提取被认为是一种绿色提取技术。本文旨在综述近年来超声辅助提取植物生物活性化合物的最新进展。讨论了超声辅助提取的机理和优点，特别是聚焦于从植物材料中提取生物活性化合物，如酚类、类黄酮、百里香酚、皂苷和蛋白质。系统地回顾了以前关于提取变量优化的研究，以揭示它们对生物活性化合物产率和质量变化的重要贡献。超声技术还与其他加工技术相结合，以提高食品的质量、稳定性、安全性和保障性。因此，超声辅助提取有效地从植物材料中回收生物活性化合物，并增强了食品工业的加工能力。
