Extraction of valuable bioactive compounds from plant matrices and food by-products is essential for developing value-added products in nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and functional foods. This study represents the various extraction techniques helps to extract the compound, majorly it classified into conventional (traditional solvent-based) and non-conventional (modern, often green) techniques. The traditional technique like maceration, percolation, soxhlet extraction are widely used, they often require longer extraction times, higher solvent volumes, and greater energy input. In contrast, non-conventional techniques including ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES), are presented as advanced, sustainable alternatives. These offer superior efficiency, reduced solvent and energy use, shorter times, better preservation of thermolabile compounds, and environmental benefits, though challenges like equipment costs and scale-up persist. The study also compares the sustainability, scalability, economic feasibility, and application potential of each method. Overall, the transition from conventional to innovative green extraction technologies reflects the growing demand for environmentally friendly, high-efficiency, and industrially viable processes for bioactive compound recovery.
