Essential Oils and Microwave Extracts of Cultivated Plants

We have used these two methods to treat different cultivated plants: five Umbelliferae, one Compositae and seven Labiatae. There is a double purpose for this approach. First, we want to determine the advantages and disadvantages of this technique in terms of research. Secondly, we intend to make appropriate comparisons between microwave extracts and essential oils coming from the aerial part of these plants.
