Description
Ting-Kang Lin and five co-authors use microwave-assisted water extraction to draw active compounds from a tropical tree leaf, in a study from 2024. Extracts of this tree are known for skin, germ, and antioxidant effects, but older methods collect them poorly. A fast water method with microwaves could do better without harsh solvents.
They tuned the method to a short burst time and a set water-to-leaf ratio, reaching a solid yield of dried extract. Tests showed strong antioxidant, anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory action, plus good germ killing and skin enzyme blocking. The extract did not harm cells at working doses. Chemical checks found many active plant compounds.
