New extraction protocols, gas-expanded liquid extraction (GXLE), and ultrasound extraction (UE) have been optimized with an emphasis on using green solvents and maximizing the extraction of 14 selected phenolic compounds, including flavonoid-based compounds and phenolic acids from dried apples. The design of the experiments&rsquo: approach was applied to optimize the main extraction parameters. Fine tuning included optimization of the flow rate in GXLE and the extraction time for GXLE and UE. Optimized GXLE was carried out with CO2&ndash:ethanol&ndash:water (34/53.8/12.2: v/v/v) at a flow rate of 3 mL/min at a temperature of 75 °:C and pressure of 120 bar for 30 min. UE with ethanol&ndash:water 26/74 (v/v) lasted for 10 min at 70 °:C. Both methods differed in solvent consumption and sample throughput, while providing a comparable total phenolic content of 2442 µ:g/g with an RSD <: 10% and 2226 µ:g/g with RSD <: 6%, for GXLE and UE, respectively. Both methods were used in determining the phenolic compounds in five apple cultivars, &lsquo:Angold&rsquo:, &lsquo:Artiga&rsquo:, &lsquo:Golden Delicious&rsquo:, &lsquo:Meteor&rsquo:, and &lsquo:Topaz&rsquo:. Phenolic profiles were plotted with chlorogenic acid, catechin, epicatechin, hirsutrin, phloridzin, and guaiaverin as the main components. Statistical evaluation, including pair t-test, Bland&ndash:Altman test, and linear regression did not reveal any differences between UE and GXLE results.
