<onlyinclude>For '''microwave''' treatment electromagnetic radiation is used to induce thermal and non-thermal effects that drive physical, chemical or biological reactions<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|author=Ethaib, S., Omar, R., Kamal, S.

The technology is usually applied in food drying or to break down the structure of lignocellulosic biowaste leading to the release of different substances, such as fermentable sugars. <!-- As a rapid and effective heating source with both thermal and nonthermal effects, MW can directly interact with the material, thereby accelerating chemical, physical, and biologic reactions. (Xu Jian, 2015) Microwave treatment causes a rise in the temperature within a penetrated medium as a result of rapid changes of the electromagnetic field at high frequency.
