This review critically examines recent advancements in green extraction methods for palm oil production, emphasising their potential to improve sustainability, extraction efficiency and product quality. Innovative green technologies, including supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO₂) extraction, ultrasoundassisted extraction (UAE), microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and deep eutectic solvents (DES), provide eco-friendly alternatives that maintain or even enhance oil yield and quality. Notably, SCCO2 extraction produces high-purity oils rich in bioactive compounds, while UAE and MAE demonstrate significant energy efficiency and superior preservation of nutrients. DES, an emerging solvent, enhances extraction processes with a lower environmental impact. Comparative analysis reveals that these methods not only reduce environmental risks but also improve product safety and quality. The review concludes by highlighting the need for further optimisation of these techniques, positioning them as essential for the future of sustainable and responsible palm oil production.
