Microwave-assisted extraction of bioactive compounds from Urtica dioica using solvent-based process optimization and characterization
Scientific Reports volume 15, Article number: 25375 (2025)
Authors: Anjali Sahal, Afzal Hussain, Ritesh Mishra, Sakshi Pandey, Ankita Dobhal, Waseem Ahmad, Vinod Kumar, Umesh Chandra Lohani, Sanjay Kumar

Mark's comments: Kudos to this team for deploying a Box-Behnken response-surface-method design--convenient by only requiring 3 levels of each of their 3 factors (power, time and sample-to-solvent ratio)--to optimize their process. Given all the raw data I was able to easily copy it out and import it into my Stat-Ease software and check into the modeling--no major issues uncovered. The authors did well by diagnosing residuals and making use of our numerical optimization tools to find the most desirable factor combination for their multiple-response goals.

Be sure to check out this important study, and the other research listed below!
