Ionic liquid microwave-assisted extraction of annona muricata fruit

Extraction method plays an essential role in extracting bioactive compounds. Ionic liquid microwave-assisted extraction (ILMAE) method has been successfully applied to get the optimum extraction yield from Annona muricata fruit. A series of the 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium cation with different anions Cl-, BF4-, PF6- were assessed for extraction efficiency, and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride was selected as the optimal solvent. Also, the...
