Abstract
Subcritical Water Extraction (SWE) has emerged as an innovative and
sustainable technique for extracting valuable phytochemicals from vegetables.
Under subcritical water conditions, by which operating water
at elevated temperatures and pressures below its critical point, SWE enhances
its ability to dissolve a broad spectrum of bioactive compounds, including
polar substances like glucosinolates and phenolic acids, as well as nonpolar
compounds such as flavonoids and carotenoids. Compared to conventional solvent-based
methods, this green extraction approach has the benefit of higher efficiency in
extraction and reduced environmental impact, along with lower capital costs.
SWE has been successfully applied to recover important phytochemicals, such as sulforaphane from broccoli and quercetin from kale. Extraction yields and phytochemical
stability are influenced by factors including types of plant, temperature,
pressure, solid-to-solvent ratio, extraction time, and pH conditions. The valourisation of vegetable waste materials like carrot peels, cauliflower stems make SWE align towards circular economy principles. Despite scaling up challenges, as
generally seen in equipment design and energy consumption, SWE has a huge
potential for broad industrial use in areas of food, nutraceutical,
pharmaceutical and cosmetic. This
review focuses on recent
advances, the synergistic effects, environmental and economic merits
of the SWE technology and is followed
by its prospects in this field.
