Microwave- and ultrasound-assisted extraction methods for the recovery of valuable components from brown seaweed species KU Leuven
The study aims to employ environmentally friendly intensification techniques, such as Ultrasound Assisted Extraction (UAE) and Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE), to reduce chemical, water, and energy usage during seaweed extraction processes. The effectiveness of cell disruption through ultrasonic treatment will be evaluated and the efficient heating provided by microwaves assessed. The study will focus on optimizing the extraction ...
