3.4.4. MAE

10 mg of the dry plant material were placed into a 2 mL sealed vessel suitable for an automatic single-mode microwave reactor and 1 mL of appropriate solvent medium (see Section 3.3.) was added, forming a yellow-green emulsion. MAE was carried out heating by microwave irradiation for 13 min 8 s at 80 ◦C (which correspond approximatively to 24 h of maceration at 25 ◦C), and then cooling to room temperature by pressurized air. Then, the homogenate was centrifuged at 12000× *g* for 5 min and 20 μL of the solution were directly injected into the HPLC system.
