The research aims to optimize and evaluate the greenness of extraction methods for bioactive compounds from cocoa bean shells.
Utilized ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) techniques.
Compared the effectiveness of both methods in terms of recovering bioactive compounds.
Employed optimization techniques to enhance extraction efficiency.
Both UAE and MAE were effective in extracting bioactive compounds from cocoa bean shells.
UAE showed a higher yield compared to MAE under optimized conditions.
Green extraction methods were confirmed to be environmentally friendly and efficient.
