Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the extraction conditions. A face-centered central composite design (FCCCD) was employed to determine the effects of independent variables such as microwave power (100-300 W), extraction time (2-16 min) and solvent to sample ratio (5:1-25:1 mL g <sup>-1 </sup>) on the extraction yield and total phenolic content (TPC). Optimized conditions were determined as 265 W of microwave power, 2 min of extraction time and 24:1 mL g <sup>-1 </sup> of solvent to sample ratio. The maximum predicted extraction yield and TPC under the optimum conditions were 8.23 % and 19.65 </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:10pt;" xml:lang="en-us">mg GAE g <sup>-1 </sup> dry strawberry, respectively </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:10pt;" xml:lang="en-us">.
