Scientists are exploring new ways to recover useful compounds from plants while making the extraction process faster, more efficient, and potentially more environmentally friendly. One recent study combined several modern technologies to investigate extracting phytochemicals from Cassia absus L . , commonly known as Chaksu. The researchers combined ultrasound-assisted extraction with a natural deep eutectic solvent and used artificial intelligence and mathematical optimization to identify the most suitable processing conditions. The study, published in Discover Green Chemistry in August 2026, brings together response surface methodology, artificial neural networks, and the TOPSIS decision-making technique. This combination matters because extracting useful chemicals from plants is not always simple. Traditional methods can require large amounts of solvents, considerable energy, and long processing times. By using ultrasound, alternative solvents, and computer-based optimization, scien...
