Abstract

Here in reported the application of Hot Extraction Filtration (HEF) apparatus by Microwave system and combination of Microwave- heating and steam distillation as a new technique under the optimal condition in the extraction of trimyristin from Myristica fragrans Houtt. and tannin from Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh. leaves. Microwave irradiation–HEF were at 700 w for 10 min at 120 ºC in order to extract trimyristin and steam distillation- microwave irradiation at 300 w for 30 min for extraction of tannin were evaluated. The extracted products were isolated and identified by FT-IR, HPLC, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR. This method compared to the conventional heating method provided a fast and easy procedure. Also high yield and increasing the purity of crude extract products is the advantages of this procedure.
