A critical analysis of publication trends from 2005–2015 in microwave assisted extraction of botanicals: How far we have come and the road ahead

Abstract This review has been written with the objective to strategically screen the published research papers (articles) through Scopus database related to microwave assisted extraction (MAE) of bioactive(s) from plant matrix and present a critical analysis report. Scopus is world's largest abstract and indexing database being used by researchers worldwide. This review discusses the publication trends of articles from 2005–2015 related to the above mentioned theme which shall give the readers a 10 year performance report to what extent MAE has been explored for extraction of botanicals compared to other areas of research in natural products. Based on the article screening some of the widely used domains related to MAE of botanicals and the top three participating countries have been identified. Core concept of strategizing and prioritizing research on MAE of botanicals has been presented in a simplified manner.
