Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction in Analytical Applications for Fish and Aquatic Living Resources, a Review

ABSTRACT

Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE) has attracted much attention in recent years due to its rapid extraction capability, high extraction efficiency, and being an environmentally friendly and low-cost methodology. This review gives a general overview of UAE and specifically its recent applications on fish and aquatic living resources. Moreover, the extraction efficiency of UAE is compared with those offered by other extraction methods. The UAE technique is a hopeful tool for compounds extraction, and it is possible to combine it with other sample pre-treatment techniques such as solid-phase and liquid-phase microextraction techniques.
