APPLICATION OF HYBRID MICROWAVE THERMAL EXTRACTION TECHNIQUES FOR MULBERRY ROOT BARK

Abstract

The main focus of this paper is the extraction of compounds from the mulberry root bark using a hybrid microwave thermal process. The shearing mechanism and an integrated circulation system, which increases the rate of contact between the solvent and extractive, are studied. The results are analyzed by the Taguchi method and verified by high performance liquid chromatography. Furthermore, the optimal operating parameters of the extraction of mulberry root bark are discussed. The results show that hybrid microwave thermal extraction can successfully extract the active ingredients from mulberry root bark. This is a reliable basis for further researches.
