Preface

The use of microwave energy in chemical laboratories was first described in 1986 contemporaneously by R. Gedye and R.J. Giguere in organic synthesis and by K. Ganzler in the extraction of biological matrices for the preparation analytical samples. Since then, several laboratories studied the enormous potential of this nonconventional energy source for synthetic, analytical and processing application. So far, the use of dielectric heating in synthesis and extraction is documented by over 3,000 and 1,000 articles respectively. The field of microwave-assisted extraction of bioactive compounds is quite young.
