Biobased ionic liquids as solvents of paramylon
Journal of Molecular Liquids, 2023 Paramylon is a linear glucan produced by Euglena gracilis microalgae as water insoluble intracellular granules. Its macromolecular structure contains only B(1-3) linkages, resulting in a stable triple helix conformation and a high crystallinity. It is soluble in very few solvents such as DMSO, harsh alkaline or acid solutions and imidazolium ionic ...
