Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
You are cordially invited to contribute to a new Special Issue entitled “Microwave-Assisted Synthesis and Extraction in Green Chemistry”.
Microwave-assisted synthesis and extraction represent significant advancements in the field of green chemistry, offering numerous advantages over conventional methods, such as faster processes, higher efficiency, greater yield, and reduced solvent consumption. Most importantly, microwave-assisted processes exhibit higher energy efficiency, which is critical in the current climate. Consequently, microwaves have been employed in chemical synthesis and extraction processes.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the application of microwave technology as a green technique for synthesis and extraction in various fields. We welcome the submission of comprehensive reviews or research manuscripts related to the design, mechanisms, and applications of microwave technology for synthesis and extraction in the food, cosmetic, or pharmaceutical industries.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Yusuke Asakuma

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
