Phenolic content and antioxidant activities of Vitis vinifera L. leaf extracts obtained by conventional solvent and microwave-assisted extractions

TL;DR: In this paper, two methods of extraction were compared: conventional solvent extraction (CSE) and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), and the optimal extraction conditions in terms of total phenolic content (TPC) were determined using a Box-Behnken design (BBD) from leaves of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Le tizourine Bou Afraraet.
