Abstract
The majority of the bioactive compounds present in canola seeds are phenolic compounds. They are present as aglycones, glycosides, monomers, polymerized structures, or as free or matrix-bound compounds. Conventional methods of extraction utilize an excessive amount of organic solvents and require high energy input. Current environmental issues associated with organic solvent disposal demand alternative methods for the extraction of phenolic compounds that are environmentally friendly and energy-efficient. Green technology has identified a number of alternative methods suitable for the extraction of phenolic compounds. This chapter will review those alternative green methods suitable for the extraction of phenolic compounds from canola and rapeseed. Such methods include ultrasonic extraction, microwave extraction, accelerated solvent extraction, subcritical water extraction, and supercritical fluid extraction.
