The optimisation of the Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE) method was investigated by employing the Central Composite Rotatable Design (CCRD) of Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The UAE method was based on a simple ultrasound treatment using methanol as the extraction medium to facilitate the cell disruption of Mitragyna speciosa leaves for optimum extraction yield and Total Phenolic Content (TPC). Three different parameters comprising extraction temperature (X1: 25-50 °C), sonication time (X2: 15-50 min), and solvent to solid ratio (X3: 10-30 mL/g), and were selected as the independent variables, while two response variables were selected, namely extraction yield (Y1) and TPC (Y2). Based on the results, the developed quadratic polynomial model correlated with the experimental data is based on the coefficient of determination (R2) of extraction yield (0.9972, p
