<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Bioactivity and functional properties of cyanobacterial extract mostly depends on process of extraction, temperature and solvent used (polar or non-polar). To evaluate these parameters a design of experiment (DOE; using a 2<SUP>k</SUP> design) was performed with <I>Arthrospira platensis.</I> Extraction process was optimized through microwave-assisted extraction considering solvent ratio, temperature and time of extraction with polar (PS) and non-polar (NPS). Maximum extract yield obtained was 4.32±0.25% and 5.26±0.11% (w/w) respectively for PS and NPS. Maximum content of bioactive metabolites in PS extracts were thiamine (846.57±14.12μg/g), riboflavin (101.09±1.63μg/g), C-phycocyanin (2.28±0.10μg/g) and A-phycocyanin (4.11±0.03μg/g), while for NPS extracts were α-tocopherol (37.86±0.78μg/g), β-carotene (123.64±1.45μg/g) and 19.44±0.21mg/g of fatty acids. <I>A. platensis</I> PS extracts showed high antimicrobial activity and PS extracts had antioxidant activity of 0.79±0.12μmolTE/g for FRAP assay, while for NPS extracts 1.03±0.08μmol α-TE/g for FRAP assay.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Non polar solvent have higher extract yield. </LI> <LI> Use of green solvent offer biologically active cyanobacterial extract. </LI> <LI> Microwave-assisted extraction for high reproducibility and purity of extract. </LI> <LI> High levels of solvent ratio, temperature and time result in high extract yield. </LI> <LI> Polar solvent extract shows higher antibacterial activity. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>
