Microwave assisted extraction (MAE) is a focused and targeted method of extraction of plant metabolites. Compared to conventional method of extraction, MAE has some advantage such as shorter extraction time and lower temperature, which leads to less degradation of thermally labile compounds. In the present study, a microwave-assisted extraction method was established to extract natural phytochemicals from the stem of Cissus quadrangularis using various solvents like Pet.ether, Chloroform, Ethyl acetate, Ethanol and Water and the % Yield and consistency of extracts as well extraction time are compared with the extract prepared by conventional method. Extracts of Cissus quadrangularis showed the presence of steroids, alkaloids, saponins, carbohydrates, phenolic compounds by preliminary phytochemical analysis.
