Effect of different operating parameters on extraction of active compounds from pitaya peel by microwave assisted extraction (MAE)

Effect of different operating parameters on extraction of active compounds from pitaya peel by microwave assisted extraction (MAE)

Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) has been recognised as a powerful potential alternative for the extraction of active compounds from plant materials compared to other advanced methods such as ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), pressurised liquid extraction (PLE), supercritical fluid extraction...
