Microwave hydrodiffusion and gravity (MHG) technique is an attempt towards development of green extraction, as this environment friendly technique has completely eliminated the use of organic solvents. After describing the effectiveness of microwave radiations in extraction field in the first part of this manuscript, we have optimized this noval extraction method to get antioxidants rich extract. Along with studying the temperature distributions in different parts of plant material under the effect of microwave irradiations, we have analyzed the influence of microwaves in enhancing the antioxidant activity of extracts by using different tests. We have got the promising results concerning about the antioxidant rich extracts of different onion varieties and sea buckthorn in generalization step against the conventional solvent extracts. The application of vacuum system in this extraction system helped in restraining the limitations like dry extract yield and flavonol contents. Incomparison to traditional and recent extraction systems, the MHG extracts doesn't require any filtration and purification steps as it works in absence of any solvent and water and are highly recommended for direct application in industrial products
