A Study on microwave - assisted extraction of patchouli essential oil : effect of hexane as solvent

The objective of this research was to extract patchouli essential oil with microwave assisted extraction (MAE) by using hexane as solvent extraction. This research focuses on effect of varying microwave power at 300 W, 400 W and 500 W at different time of extraction and influence of dielectric prope...
