Diethylene glycol-zinc chloride based deep eutectic solvent for green extraction of bixin compound
Journal of Ionic LiquidsDeep eutectic solvents (DESs) are ionic liquid alternatives that replace volatile and flammable organic solvents. DESs are formed by hydrogen bond interaction between the hydrogen bond donor (HBD) and the hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA).
