Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are regarded as promising solvents to extract chemicals from plant materials. In this study, a DES-based microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) method was developed for the chromatographic analysis of four bioactive flavonoids in Spirodela polyrrhiza. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Promosil C18-column. Prior to the HPLC analysis, the flavonoids were rapidly extracted by a DES-MAE process using choline chloride/levulinic acid (1:2, mol/mol) as the solvent. The extraction parameters were optimized using response surface methodology, and the optimal DES-MAE was fast and efficient compared with conventional solvent-based MAE and ultrasonic-assisted extraction using DES. The recoveries of optimized DES-MAE for the four flavonoids ranged from 97.80 to 103.29%. This study demonstrates that the validated DES-MAE-HPLC method is efficient, accurate and applicable to the determination of flavonoids in S. polyrrhiza.

The advancement of underwater monitoring technologies has been significantly hampered by the limitations of traditional electrical sensors, particularly in the presence of electromagnetic interference and safety concerns in aquatic environments. Fiber optic sensors are therefore nowadays widely applied to underwater monitoring devices. However, silicon- and polymer-based optical fibers often face challenges, such as rigidity, susceptibility to environmental stress, and limited operational flexibility.

Three choline chloride (ChCl)-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as a new type of green solvents were used for the ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) of bioactive compounds from Mentha spicata L. DES containing ChCl and malonic acid (MalA) was selected as the most promising, providing a more effective extraction of antioxidants from spearmint. Response surface methodology (RSM) and a Box-Behnken design (BBD) with three variables, ChCl:MalA molar ratio, water content (WC) in DES, and extraction time (t), were implemented for optimizing the extraction conditions.

In this study, 34 deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were successfully prepared for the extraction of proanthocyanidin from Rhodiolae Crenulatae Radix et Rhizomes. The extraction process was optimized using single factor exploration and Box-Behnken design-response surface analysis. The extraction rate was significantly improved when the molar ratio of choline chloride to 1,3-propanediol was 1:3.

The functions of peptides often emerge upon their self-assembly or binding with other co-factors. However, the synthetic complexity makes these functional peptides intractable. Here, we utilize the ester-amide exchange reaction in deep eutectic solvents to generate peptide libraries from unactivated amino acids.

The application of existing ternary betaine (Be)-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs) faces inevitable limitations due to the low regenerability and water absorption capability of the DESs. In this study, three ternary Be-based DESs with different molar ratios were prepared by adding the promoter diethanolamine (DEA) to the binary system of Be and ethylene glycol (EG). The effects of DEA, temperature, and flow rate on CO absorption by the Be-based DESs were then investigated.
