Microwave supported extraction and optimization of flavonoid mangiferin from Mangifera indica L. stem bark using orthogonal array design

A modest and swift microwave-backed extraction process has been established for the abstraction of a flavonoid mangiferin from the Shoot bark of Mangifera indica L. The content in the extracts was quantified by planar chromatography. An orthogonal array strategy was employed to conclude the effects of variables that affect the efficiency of MAE, namely temperature, irradiation period, the clout of irradiation, and particle size of drug powder. Under optimal conditions, MAE showed expressively higher recovery of mangiferin and markdown in the extraction period as well as solvent intake in comparison to the conventional method.
