Are deep eutectic solvents (DESs) a promising alternative to conventional solvents?
Perhaps, but their development is hindered by a plethora of misconceptions. These are …

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are an emerging class of mixtures characterized by
significant depressions in melting points compared to those of the neat constituent …

A stricter definition of a deep eutectic solvent (DES) is urgent, so that it may become a sound
basis for further developments in this field. This communication aims at contributing to …

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) based on terpenes are identified and characterized. 507
combinations of solid components are tested, which results in the identification of 17 new …

Background Bioactive compounds have been intensely studied because of their biological
properties that provide health benefits. However, for chemical or biological applications …

This study evaluates the use of deep eutectic solvents (DES) prepared with choline chloride
([Ch] Cl) and carboxylic acids for phenolic compound extraction from olive leaves. These …

Nowadays, many researchers are focused on finding a solution to the problem of global
warming. Carbon dioxide is considered to be responsible for the “greenhouse” effect. The …

Recently, some works claim that hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents could be prepared
based on menthol and monocarboxylic acids. Despite of some promising potential …

Three novel hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (DESs) based on oleic acid and terpenes
(thymol, dl-menthol, and geraniol) were prepared, characterized, and used to extract …

Natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) are mixtures of naturally derived compounds with a
significantly decreased melting point owing to specific interactions among the constituents …
