The GC–MS data showed that
the primary compounds in the extracts obtained by MAE were
same as those obtained using conventional extraction indicating
the negligible influence of microwave irradiation on the stability
of compounds. The kinetic model represented as a function of
temperature and solvent-to-feed-ratio can be used to determine
the residence time required to achieve a desired flavonoid
concentration in the extract in a continuous MAE of flavonoids
from T. bellerica using water as the solvent.
