description Garlic essential oil possesses several desired pharmacological effects. Microwave-assisted hydrodistillation (MAHD) was adopted as to reduce the extraction period and improve extraction yield. The antimicrobial properties of the extracted essential oils were analysed and a rigorous fundamental model was developed to represent the process. The results showed that the MAHD combined with water-ethanol solvent can increase the extraction rate, shorten the extraction period and maintain the antimicrobial property of the garlic oil.
