" To investigate the effects of selected pretreatment and drying methods on yield, compositions and heath-related functional properties of the extracts of some common fruit and vegetable residues obtained by MAE.
" To investigate the effects of MAE conditions and modes of operation on yield, compositions and heath-related functional properties of the extracts.
" To compare the yield, compositions and heath-related functional properties of the extracts obtained from the above-mentioned MAE processes with those of extracts obtained from conventional extraction techniques.
" To develop a mathematical model that allows prediction of the MAE behavior.
