presence of solvent residues in target compounds coupled with
low extraction yield have stimulated interest in developing
environment-friendly (green) extraction technologies, which can
minimize or eliminate the use of organic solvents. Commercial interest
in more sustainable, non-toxic routes of extraction has
increased, driven by growing consumer demands for greener alternatives
and natural ingredients that do not involve toxic chemicals,
and the environmental and health risks associated with use of chemical
solvents.
