Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) of phytochemicals has grown as a promising technique in recent years. MAE method wasdeveloped for extraction of Lupeol from Cuscuta reflexa Roxb. growing on different hosts. An open vessel modified microwave
system has been used for extraction of Lupeol. Various critical parameters such as use of solvent, solvent volume, power and
time of irradiation were optimized. Methanol was selected as an extraction solvent based on its high dielectric constant value
and maximum solubility of Lupeol. The solvent volume, microwave power and irradiation time were optimized to 10 mL,
160 Watts and 3 min respectively. The developed method is a good alternative to time consuming conventional extraction
techniques.
Key words: Conventional extraction, Cuscuta reflexa, Lupeol, microwave-assisted extraction
