Key Points

This research evaluates the effectiveness of microwave-assisted extraction compared to Soxhlet extraction for recovering bioactive compounds from apple pomace.
Used microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and Soxhlet methods to recover compounds.
Measured total phenolic content using the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent.
Assessed antioxidant activity through DPPH free radical scavenging assay.
Soxhlet produced the highest total phenolic content at 9.78 mg GAE/g extract.
MAE-4 and MAE-2 exhibited significant antioxidant activity with IC50 values of 17.8 and 18.8 µg/mL, respectively.
No significant difference in antioxidant activities was found between MAE-4 and MAE-2, preserving potency with shorter microwave durations.
