Abstract:
Microwave assisted extraction of azadirachtin is studied in this paper,using a reconstructed home microwave oven.The effects of radiation time,microwave power,the volume of solvent for extraction and the volume of solvent for washing cake on ectraction yield,solvent recovery and content of azadirachtin are discussed in orthogonal experiments.Data illustrates that radiation time 80s,microwave power 365W,volume of solvent for extraction 100mL and volume of solvent for washing cake 10mL give the optimum result.
