as traditional extraction methods like hydrodistillation (hd) and steamdistillation (sd) have long extraction times, some novel extraction methods like microwave-assisted hydrodistillation (mahd) and ohmic-assisted hydrodistillation (oahd) are recently introduced. in this study, essential oils of mentha piperita were extracted by oahd and mahd and the results were compared with those of the sd ...

BACKGROUND Currently, there is an increasing interest in developing more efficient techniques for the extraction of phytochemicals. Microwaves and ultrasonic extraction methods are promising techniques that can be used for this purpose. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of different extraction methods on yield, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of volat...

Nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) is a powerful antioxidant with biological activities of great interest in several health areas, including antiviral, cancer chemopreventive, and antitumorgenic. Little information is available on extraction methods of NDGA from Larrea tridentata. Hence, the aim of this study was to develop a rapid and effective microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) method for NDGA...

In this work we will present new method, retrieved results and validation for complex and frequency dependent permittivity and permeability parameter extraction of two composite, homogeneous and isotropic magnetically loaded microwave absorbers (CR Eccosorb). Permittivity and permeability are extracted from free space transmission measurements for frequencies up to 140GHz. For the results valid...

The extraction of bioactive plant components, which belong to specialized metabolites, is carried out by conventional and novel methods. In this study, a classical (hydrodistillation, HD) technique (microwave-assisted water extraction, MAE) were used isolate free volatile compounds from nine Croatian Veronica taxa (family Plantaginaceae). Each these extracts consists lipophilic phase an aqueous...

Vacuum microwave-assisted extraction (VMAE), in which microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) was performed in vacuum, was specially designed and applied for the extraction of polyphenolic compounds and pigments from Chinese herbs. The extraction conditions including solid/liquid ratio, extraction time, extraction temperature and degree of vacuum were optimized. Subsequently, VMAE, MAE, and convent...

This work presents new method, retrieved results and validation for complex and frequency dependent permittivity and permeability parameter extraction of two composite, homogeneous and isotropic magnetically loaded microwave absorbers. Permittivities and permeabilities are extracted from free space transmission measurements for frequencies from 22 up to 140 GHz. For validation of the results re...

An ultrasound and microwave assisted alternant extraction method (UMAE) was applied for extracting dihydroquercetin (DHQ) from Larix gmelinii wood. This investigation was conducted using 60% ethanol as solvent, 1:12 solid to liquid ratio, and 3 h soaking time. The optimum treatment time was ultrasound 40 min, microwave 20 min, respectively, and the extraction was performed once. Under the optim...
