“…Emerging technologies have been used in order to develop new and environmentally friendly methods, reducing processing time, enhancing heat and mass transfer and improving product quality and functionality (Galanakis, 2013). Among these techniques, ultrasound (Prakash Maran et al, 2013;Afshari et al, 2015) and microwave-assisted extraction (Xie et al, 2010;Zheng et al, 2015), high pressure microfluidization-assisted extraction (Huang et al, 2012;Zhang et al, 2015), pulsed electric field (Zhu et al, 2012;Parniakov et al, 2014) have reported to recover oligo-and polysaccharides from plant tissues.…”
