Since plant derived bioactive compounds have been attributed a variety of health-promoting effects, the extraction of these compounds from plant material has become an important industrial process. Nowadays, green extraction process such as subcritical water extraction, which provides higher selectivities, low cost and shorter extraction times, is very popular. Pressurized liquid extractor (PLE, Dionex trade name accelerated solvent extractor-ASE) technology has also been used for subcritical water extraction of bioactive compounds from various plant materials as well as laboratory-built...
