Microwave assisted extraction of chlorogenic acid from sunflower seed meal using natural deep eutectic solvent based on COSMO-RS design

Key Points

• Effective microwave extraction yields higher chlorogenic acid concentration compared to traditional methods.
• Using a natural deep eutectic solvent demonstrates a promising alternative for sustainable extraction processes.
• Methods were based on a COSMO-RS design, optimizing solvent interactions for enhanced extraction efficiency.
• This approach may enable better utilization of sunflower seed meal; further investigation is needed for scalability.
