Summary: | Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE) has been utilized in extracting a myriad of phytochemicals, lipids,
carbohydrates, and proteins. This extraction method essentially takes advantage of water present inside
cells by exciting the molecules hence increasing the internal temperature and pressure till the cells bursts.
MAE is studied extensively due to its advantages over other typical extraction methods; especially in
essential oil extraction. However, there is not many researches on using MAE to extract vegetable oil.
Essential and vegetable oils are both derived from plants, but the characteristics of both oils differs.
Therefore, the proper conditions for MAE extraction of the oils are different. This paper reviews the MAE
conditions such as extraction time, power of microwave, solvent to feed ratio, and the set-up of microwave
equipment. This paper attempts to show the differences between the MAE conditions between vegetable
and essential oil extraction. The challenges faced by MAE is also discussed briefly with suggestions to
overcome them. The Internet of Things is also discussed for its implementation in a scaled up MAE
reactor. |
