摘要: Abstract Saffron, known as golden spice, is highly rich in bioactive compounds mainly crocin, safranal, and picrocrocin having various health benefits. To avail of the total benefits saffron compounds, these have to be extracted for supplementation functional foods pharmaceutical purposes. The conventional methods applied extraction viz. maceration, steam distillation, soxhlet certain limitations such large consumption time, energy, solvent; extract impurity; low quality efficiency; not eco-friendly, etc. These technologies are detrimental specifically which most abundant important component saffron. Therefore, advanced nonthermal processes emerged plant extractions that environment-friendly; safe; consuming less efficient; selective; compounds. include but limited supercritical fluid extraction, subcritical water ultrasonication-assisted microwave-assisted emulsion liquid membranes pulsed electric field enzyme-assisted high-pressure extraction. can combined achieve target with higher efficiency. However, emerging particularly membrane yet fully explored recovery
