microwave-assisted hydrodistillation (mahd) at three levels of microwave power (180, 360, and 540 w) and the traditional hydrodistillation (hd) were applied to obtain essential oils from bunium persicum boiss. (black zira). mahd at 540 w started much earlier than that of hd (4 min vs. 38 min, respectively). by the time the extraction of essential oils started with hd, almost 50% of the total es...
