“…Historically, extraction and separation of flavonoids from C. paliurus using a traditional method with organic solvent and chromatography, which brings derivative problems such as waste of labor, consumption of resource, harm to human health and environmental pollution etc. Environment‐friendly methods with new technique were investigated recently years, including ultrasound assisted‐deep eutectic solvent extraction (UAE‐DES) (Shang, Tan, Du, Liu, & Zhang, 2018 and microwave irradiation (Xie et al, 2015). Aqueous two‐phase system (ATPS) is a new liquid‐liquid fraction technique that has been extensively applied in the separation and purification of natural products including phenols (Xu, Qiu, Ren, Ju, & Jia, 2017), flavonoids (He, Li, Wang, & Deng, 2016), alkloid (Zhou et al, 2018), proteins (Chang, Show, Lan, Tsai, & Huang, 2018), genetic material (Nazer, Dehghani, & Goliaei, 2017), polysaccharide (Li et al, 2017)and secondary metabolites etc.…”
