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...
