TL;DR: The six principles of green-extraction are introduced, describing a multifaceted strategy to apply this concept at research and industrial level, and offer an updated glimpse of the huge technological effort that is being made and the diverse applications that are being developed.

TL;DR: A review of green extraction techniques and their role in promoting sustainable ingredients for the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries is presented in this paper, where the authors focus on the strategies and present them as success stories for research and education and at the industrial scale.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared traditional hydrodistillation (HD) and innovative microwave hydrodiffusion and gravity (MHG) methods for their effectiveness in the isolation of essential oil from fresh Rosmarinus officinalis leaves.

TL;DR: The essential oils extracted by MHG were quantitatively and qualitatively similar to those obtained by conventional hydrodistillation for 90 min, and prevents pollution through potential 90% of energy saved which can lead to greenhouse gas emission benefits.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a new and green alternative technique for the extraction of essential oil from citrus peels using the hydro-diffusion phenomenon generated by microwaves to extract essential oils from the inside to the outside of the biological material.
