Table 12. Principles of novel techniques for extracting bioactive compounds from marine sources
 
TechniquePrincipleReferences
Supercritical Fluid Extraction (Supercritical CO2 Extraction)Increasing pressure and temperature above their critical points while maintaining liquid and gas characteristics. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the frequently used solvent. Numerous combinations of temperature and pressure can be used.Sánchez-Camargo et al., 2017
Subcritical Water ExtractionPlacing liquid water for a short time (5–10 min) at high pressure (10–60 bar) and temperatures above its boiling point (100–374°C)Zakaria and Kamal, 2016
Pulse Electric Field-Assisted MethodDisrupting cell membranes (by forming pores) using the electric field of 0.5–1.0 kV/cm field strength for 100–10,000 seconds, or 1–10 kV/cm field strength for 5–100 s. Commonly used treatment is –20 kJ/kg specific energy with 0.7–3 kV/cm electric field intensity.Grosso et al., 2015
Microwave-Assisted MethodDue to microwaves, the moisture in the cells evaporates as the temperature rises, resulting in high pressure in the cell. It causes the rupture of cell walls and increases of porosity of the matrixBruno et al., 2019
Ultrasound-Assisted MethodThese mechanical waves in the range of 20–1000 kHz travel through the cell matrices and make them porous. These waves create a pressure difference in the solvent and stimulate bubble formation. Then these bubbles burst, resulting in cavitation and triggering the rupture of particles. Thus, releasing bioactive chemicals into the matrix.Ojha et al., 2020
Pressurized Liquid ExtractionHigh pressures (10–15 MPa), temperatures in the range of 50 to 200°C, and short time duration are used along with small volumes of non-toxic solvents (hot water can also be used). When the temperature rises, the surface tension and viscosity of liquid reduce, whereas diffusivity rises, increasing the efficiency and speed of extraction.Otero et al., 2019
High Hydrostatic PressureUnder high pressure (100–1000 MPa) and at a temperature of 5–35°C, cell permeability increases due to the deprotonation of charged particles, breakdown of salt bridges, and weak interactions (hydrogen bonds, electrostatic bonds, and hydrophobic bonds)Ali et al., 2021
Membrane Separation TechnologiesCompounds are isolated depending on their molecular size by semi-permeable membranes and sometimes, depending on their chemical composition by microporous membranesNędzarek et al., 2017
Enzymatic ExtractionHydrolysis of compounds by using enzymes. It is a safe method, which saves time and energy. More widely used in nutraceutical applicationsGhosh et al., 2022
Fermentative ExtractionHydrolysis of compounds by microbial fermentation. It is a better approach for deproteination, proteolysis, and demineralizationRoutray et al., 2019
