Abstract EN
The flavonoids are compounds synthesized by plants, and they have properties such as antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial, among others.
One of the most important bioactive properties of flavonoids is their antioxidant effect.
Synthetic antioxidants have side toxic effects whilst natural antioxidants, such as flavonoids from natural sources, have relatively low toxicity.
Therefore, it is important to incorporate flavonoids derived from natural sources in several products such as foods, cosmetics, and drugs.
For this reason, there is currently a need to extract flavonoids from plant resources.
In this review are described the most important parameters involved in the extraction of flavonoids by unconventional methods such as ultrasound, pressurized liquid extraction, mechanochemical, high hydrostatic pressure, supercritical fluid, negative pressure cavitation, intensification of vaporization by decompression to the vacuum, microwave, infrared, pulsed electric field, high-voltage electrical discharges, and enzyme-assisted extraction.
There are no unified operation conditions to achieve high yields and purity.
Notwithstanding, progress has been achieved in the development of more advanced and environmentally friendly methods of extraction.
Although in literature are found important advances, a complete understanding of the extraction process in each of the unconventional techniques is needed to determine the thermodynamic and kinetic mechanisms that govern each of the techniques.
