Abstract
Phytochemicals are an ancient medicine that can treat several diseases
and have made their position at the top in medicine since the ancient era.
Phytochemicals are one of the major disease-curing agents that attract a
population towards itself. Many Novel extraction techniques have been developed
with ancient conventional ones. Some methods need dried powdered material for
extraction, and some direct fresh material for boiling. Soxhlet extraction
technique at present also works in laboratories to extract phytochemicals, Cold
Aqueous Percolation, decoction, and maceration are some other conventional
methods. Apart from this, some novel extraction techniques like;
Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) which involves the use of the microwave for
extraction, Ultrasonication Assisted Extraction (UAE), Super-critical Fluid
Extraction (SFE), and Pressurized liquid extraction (PLE). This review article
discusses about phytochemicals and different extraction techniques, their
method of performance, advantages, requirements, benefits, and speciality of
techniques.
