Fenugreek is a multiregional plant mostly found in Asia, the Middle East, and some European countries. Thus, this study aimed to optimize the microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) process parameters such as irradiation time (2–4 min), ethanol concentration (40–80%), microwave power (500–700 W), solid-...
