Polyphenols Recovery from Thymus serpyllum Industrial Waste Using Microwave-Assisted Extraction-Comparative RSM and ANN Approach for Process Optimization.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to valorize Thymus serpyllum L. herbal dust, the particular fraction distinguished as industrial waste from filter-tea production. This work demonstrated comparable analysis considering model fitting, influence analysis and optimization of microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) of bioactive compounds from the aforementioned herbal dust using face-centered central composite experimental design within the response surface methodology (RSM), as well as artificial neural networks (ANN). In order to increase yield and amount of compounds of interest and minimize solvent, time and energy consumption, the ethanol concentration (45, 60 and 75%), extraction time (5, 12.5 and 20 min), liquid-solid ratio (10, 20 and 30 mL/g) and irradiation power (400, 600 and 800 W) wer
