The aim of this study was to extract the phenolic compounds present in the T. majus plant by maceration and ultrasound-assisted extraction techniques using two solvents: 80% ethanol and water. The highest extraction yield for the T. majus extract was obtained when 80% ethanol was used as the solvent after ultrasound-assisted extraction (32.63 ± 2.28 mg/0.5 g fresh material), while the opposite was true for the T. majus extract when water was used as the solvent and maceration as the technique (21.00 ± 3.26 mg/0.5 g fresh material). However, water extracted more phenolic components for identification.
