Biobased ionic liquids for the dissolution and extraction of biopolymers/biomolecules
It is a new method for the synthesis of ionic liquids (ILs) from biobased raw materials derived from choline, which have excellent properties for dissolving biopolymers (cellulose, lignin) and extracting bioactive molecules (curcuminoids from curcumin, carvacrol from oregano) compared to conventional solvents and ILs.
