Different methods of preparing lipases for use in organic media are critically reviewed. Solid
lipase preparations can be made by typical immobilisation methods such as adsorption …

During the past decade, ionic-liquid-based Aqueous Biphasic Systems (ABS) have been the
focus of a significant amount of research. Based on a compilation and analysis of the data …

One of the major barriers to the use of enzymes in industrial biotechnology is their
insufficient stability under processing conditions. The use of organic solvent systems instead …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been increasingly exploited as solvents and/or reagents in many
applications due to their “green” properties as well as their tunable physicochemical and …

The pharmaceutical industries face a series of challenges in the delivery of many newly
developed drug molecules because of their low solubility, bioavailability, stability and …

Inorganic and organic “solvent-in-salt”(SIS) systems have been known for decades but have
attracted significant attention only recently. Molten salt hydrates/solvates have been …

Ionic liquids have shown their potential as a solvent media for many enzymatic reactions as
well as protein preservation, because of their unusual characteristics. It is also observed that …

The tremendous potential of room temperature ionic liquids as an alternative to
environmentally harmful ordinary organic solvents is well recognized. Ionic liquids, having …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have evolved as a new type of non‐aqueous solvents for biocatalysis,
mainly due to their unique and tunable physical properties. A number of recent review …

The technological utility of biomolecules (eg proteins, enzymes and DNA) can be
significantly enhanced by combining them with ionic liquids (ILs)–potentially attractive” …
