“…Bioactive compounds, such as tannins, flavonoids, phenolics and trypsin inhibitors, have been identified (Cruz et al Research, Society and Development, v. 11, n. 6, e55211629315, 2022 (CC BY 4.0) Ngo et al, 2017;Almeida et al, 2014), including α-carotene, β-carotene, lutein, stigmasterol, α-cryptoxanthin, βcryptoxanthin andSitosterol (Cruz et al, 2021;Agostini-Costa et al, 2014). Some methods used to obtain the crude extract of plants and separate bioactive compounds are: supercritical fluid, maceration, hydrodistillation and ultrasound-assisted technique (Sarvin et al, 2018). Each method has different specifications regarding the extractive process, but all methods have characteristics that meet the principles of Green Chemistry, due to the use of solvents with lower environmental impact and/or in reduced volumes (Oliveira et al, 2016;Knez et al, 2014;Brasil, 2010).…”
