The primary goal of this review is to gain a thorough understanding of the principles, benefits and impact of ultrasound-assisted extraction on phenolics and flavonoids from plants, investigate the equipment (ultrasonic probe and ultrasonic bath) used in ultrasound-assisted extraction, and provide an overview of ultrasound-assisted extraction in the recovery of phenolic and flavonoid compounds from plants. This review reveals that ultrasound-assisted extraction provides numerous advantages, including its ease of use, increased efficiency and reproducibility, reduced solvent usage, energy consumption, operating costs and processing time, improved product purity, better protection of bioactivity of thermosensitive compounds, and operable at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Temperature, contact time, solvent type and solvent concentration, solid to solvent ratio, ultrasonic power and ultrasonic frequency are the primary factors affecting ultrasound-assisted extraction of bioactive compounds. Cavitation during ultrasound-assisted extraction accelerates the release of bioactive compounds from plant cells, thus resulting in more efficient extraction. Conclusion: It is considered that ultrasound-assisted extraction is an innovative method and efficient way to extract bioactive compounds from plants. In conclusion, applications regarding the extraction of phenolic and flavonoid compounds from plants show that ultrasound-assisted extraction is an environmentally friendly method, which is why it is known as green extraction.}, number={35}, publisher={GIDA VE YEM KONTROL MERKEZ ARAŞTIRMA ENSTİTÜSÜ MÜDÜRLÜĞÜ}
