Lipids and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) compounds from Nannochloropsis oceanica biomass were extracted using a combination of ionic liquids (ILs) and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE). When compared to conventional Soxhlet extraction, the proposed novel approach in this paper successfully improved...
