The first applications of MAE dealt with the extraction of essential oils from plant products was reported in 1994 [45]. Microwave heating was used for the isolation of essential oils. Solvent free microwave extraction (SEME) involves microwave heating involves dry distillation at atmospheric pressure for the isolation of the essential oils in fresh plant materials. SFME was used to obtain essential oils from different spices such as ajowan, cumin, and star anise [46,47], and three different aromatic herbs (basil, garden mint, and thyme) [47]. Using the SFME method, either solvent or water is needed if fresh plant material is used. However, in case of dry plant material, the sample should be rehydrated by soaking in water before the extraction.
