In response to growing concerns about environmental degradation, one of the main areas of research activity in recent years has been to make sample preparation methods more sustainable and eco-friendly. The increasing greenness of this step can be achieved by minimizing the usage of reagents, automating individual stages, saving energy and time, and using non-toxic, biodegradable substances. Therefore, the use of natural materials as sorbents in miniaturized extraction techniques is becoming a main trend. One of the natural material that is increasingly being used, not only due to eco-friendly nature but also because of their easy applicability to various sample preparation techniques, is alginate hydrogel. Following this trend, this review discusses the recent application of alginate-based sorbents in various microextraction techniques, focusing on functionalization approaches that enhance extraction performance. Additionally, the green profile of alginate-based sorbent microextraction approaches, along with the sorbent synthesis, were investigated.
