Abstract Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) of paclitaxel from Taxus chinensis has been investigated to understand the effect of ultrasound power and temperature on kinetics and thermodynamics of extraction. The paclitaxel concentration-time data were analyzed using a second order kinetic model to determine extraction constant. A diffusion model was utilized to determine diffusion coefficient taking into account of both washing and diffusion phases together. The thermodynamic analysis showed that the enthalpy change (ΔH^0) and entropy change (ΔS^0) were both positive, while the Gibbs free energy change (∆G^0) was negative and decreased when increasing the temperature and ultrasound power. The results indicated that the UAE process for recovering paclitaxel from biomass was endothermic, irreversible, and spontaneous.
