The demand for polyphenols and essential oils (EOs) on the food market is high and grows every year. Its partially the result of the fact that these compounds can be used in formulation of clean label foods, a fast growing food sector. A significant share of polyphenols and EOs are extracted from herbs. The quality of the extracts is determined mainly by the extraction method. Conventional extraction techniques of phytochemicals are time-consuming, operate at high temperatures, and require usage of organic solvents and energy in large quantities. According to the United Nations Sustainability Development Plan, chemical processes should be replaced by green alternatives that would reduce the use of solvents and energy. Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE), Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE) and Cold Plasma-Assisted Extraction (CPAE) meets these criteria. The review shows that each of these techniques seems to be a great alternative for conventional extraction methods ensuring higher yields of bioactive compounds.
市场对多酚和精油（EOs）的需求很高，并且每年都在增长。部分原因是这些化合物可用于清洁标签食品的配方中，这是一个快速增长的食品领域。多酚和 EOs 的很大一部分是从草药中提取的。提取物的质量主要取决于提取方法。植物化学物质的常规提取技术耗时耗力，在高温下进行，并且需要大量使用有机溶剂和能源。根据联合国可持续发展计划，化学工艺应该被绿色替代品所取代，以减少溶剂和能源的使用。超声辅助提取（UAE）、微波辅助提取（MAE）和冷等离子体辅助提取（CPAE）符合这些标准。综述表明，这些技术中的每一种似乎都是常规提取方法的绝佳替代品，可确保更高产率的生物活性化合物。
