This study proposed a renewable deep eutectic solvent (DES) pretreatment using lignin-derived guaiacol as the hydrogen bond donor. The DES showed excellent biomass fractionation efficiency after the incorporation of trace AlCl as the reinforcer, which removed 79.1 % lignin while preserving more than 90 % glucan. The pretreated bamboo exhibited 96.2 % glucan enzymatic hydrolysis yield at only 110 °C. The physicochemical properties of the pretreated solids were comprehensively investigated to explain how the DES fractionation overcame the biomass recalcitrance. The regenerated lignin from the DES pretreatment was also analyzed, which revealed that lignin β-O-4 bond was significantly cleaved. This guaiacol-based DES could greatly contribute to establish a closed-loop biorefinery sequence with high lignin fractionation efficiency and great solvent recyclability.

The electrooxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) has been deeply investigated. However, developing a durable electrocatalyst for fast production of FDCA at low potentials remains a challenge. Herein, we report NiP-NiSe heterostructure nanosheet arrays as efficient electrocatalysts for HMF electrooxidation.

Selenium (Se) is a crucial trace element that demonstrates significant immunomodulatory effects, which are attributed to the variability in its valence states and metabolic pathways. To investigate the Se-related immunoregulatory effects, locust bean gum (LBG), a typical galactomannan, was selenized by employing deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as high-efficiency solvents to obtain Se-covalent modified LBG (SeLBGs) with similar molecular mass and different Se contents (SeLBG, 1049.57 and SeLBG, 4926.

Organophosphate pesticides can cause long-term neurological damage to humans. There is an urgent need to develop a more sensitive and efficient method for detecting trace amounts of organophosphorus pesticides in orange juice, particularly in the presence of interfering substances. This study developed a dispersive solid-phase extraction (DSPE) method using amorphous UiO-66 (aUiO-66) as an adsorbent for the detection of four organophosphate pesticides (fenthion, profenofos, fensulfothion, and chlorpyrifos) in orange juice.

The novelty of this study is to examine the impact of different solvent systems, namely organic and deep eutectic solvents, on recovery yield, antioxidant activity, poly-dispersity index, and functional properties of microbial dextran. The optimized conditions for maximum dextran recovery were obtained using organic solvent found to be: supernatant: organic solvent - 1:4 v/v; organic solvents: ethanol, isopropanol, and acetone; temperature: 0 °C; and time: 16 h. Though a similar structure was obtained for dextran recovered using various solvents, the degree of branching varied, with DES-precipitated dextran having the highest branching of 20 % α-(1,3) linkages.
