Exp. Set Method of Extraction Parameters Inulin Yield % I Conventional heat reflux method of extraction Time (30 min) Temperature (at boiling) Solid: Liquid ratio (1:40) 51.20 ± 0.14a II Microwave–assisted extraction (MAE) Time (30 min) Temperature (90°C) Power (400W) Solid: Liquid  ratio (1:40) 63.00 ± 0.04b

Table 4: Comparative analysis of MAE and conventional extracts. Values are Means ± SD of triplicates; values having different superscripts are significantly (p<0.05) different.
