sing products on the basis of medicinal plants in prevention and/or therapy of certain diseases and medical conditions is
becoming more and more widespread. For that reason, the necessity for further investigation in the field of obtaining natural
products arises. However, traditional technologies mainly used in the production of natural products use organic solvents which
are not safe for human health and the environment. In addition, classical methods of preparation of extracts quite often imply
insufficiently used raw materials due to insufficient selectivity of solvents. This further results in low quality extracts in terms
of yield and content of pharmacologically active substances. As a response to the need for production of natural preparations
of optimal quality and ecological benefits, green innovative technologies have emerged which surmount the shortcomings of
traditional methods for obtaining these products. These technologies include the possibility of procuring natural products of high
quality, with a process which is environmentally safe and safe for human health. Depending on the type of material, chemical
composition, desired pharmaceutical shape of the product, the appropriate technology of production is selected. Among the most
common new technologies are extraction with fluids in supercritical and subcritical state, microwave, and ultrasound extraction.
This study presents clear differences and principles of selecting the adequate technology for the production of preparations.
Presented results of the research which include physical, chemical, and pharmacological characteristics of products obtained by
using different green technologies, will be used to recognize the advantages and disadvantages of alternative technologies, and
estimate the potential and validity of their implementation into the production of pharmaceutical products.
