“…The salting-out effect is non-predictable and can either increase the extraction efficiency or decrease it due to the unpredictable effects on physical-chemical properties of the transition film present in the interface [1,15]. Eighteen of the studies that optimized the ionic strength decided not to use the salting-out technique in the final method [24,28,30,32,34,36,37,42,43,48,49,[51][52][53]56,57,59] due to either the negative impact of increased salt concentration on the extraction, or the lack of effect of it; and 14 of them [5,31,33,38,39,41,[44][45][46][47]54,55,58,61] decided to use the salting-out effect to improve extraction. All the studies that employed the salting-out effect, with exception of three [38,54,55], used sodium chloride.…”
