Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are formed by a hydrogen bond donor and an acceptor. The hydrogen bond interactions between these two components significantly depress the melting temperature of the mixture. DESs have been used as an alternative for organic solvents in various branches of the chemical industry. Many DESs are very hygroscopic and water is known to change the properties of DESs, but there has neven been a systematic study performed on the deliquesence behavior of DESs. Therefore, this study investigated the thermal and deliquescent behavior of four DESs. The DES mixtures were stored in desiccators at different relative humidities (RH) to investigate the critical RH (RH0) for deliquescence. It was found that, due to the formation of a eutonic mixture, the RH0 to induce deliquescence for a given DES mixture was lower compared to the individual components comprising the DES. The results showed that, even though all investigated DESs had eutectic melting temperatures above room temperature, but due to the low RH0, they were able to appear liquid at room temperature under ambient conditions. The eutonic and eutectic compositions were identified at different compositions for the DESs. The results emphasize that great care must be taken to control the process and storage conditions for DESs.

Turmeric contains curcumin as one of the active constituents, which gives yellow color and possesses lots of pharmacological actions. Even though curcumin has lots of pharmacological actions till now, it has not been approved as a medicine due to its low water solubility, permeability, and poor bioavailability. Deep eutectic solvent (DES) can be prepared by simply mixing two or more solid components, [among the two one is hydrogen bond donor (HBD) and another is hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA)] at a definite molar ratio where the solid components by self-association converted into a liquid at room temperature (RT). Natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) are a specific subgroup of DES containing primary plant-based metabolites such as organic acids, alcohols, amino acids, or sugars. In this work, natural hydrophobic DESs were prepared with Camphor, Menthol, and Thymol. This was prepared from different ratios of Menthol:Thymol 1:1 to 1:5 and 1:1 to 5:1 (MT-DES); Camphor:Thymol 1:1 to 1:5 and 1:1 to 5:1 (CT-NADES); Camphor:Menthol 1:1 to 1:5 and 1:1 to 2:1 (CM-NADES). The pH and viscosity of prepared DESs were determined with the help of a digital pH meter and Brookfield viscometer. The solubility of curcumin in different NADESs was determined at room temperature (RT) to higher temperatures. The formation of different clear DES was obtained with slight heat. There was no difference in pH for the NADESs prepared without and with heat. Regarding the viscosity CM-DES (1:1) showed less viscosity when compared to other NADESs. The solubility of curcumin was found to be nearly double when it was dissolved in NADES for 1 hr at 35-40°C compared to 48 h stirring at 500 rotations per minute (rpm) at RT. Among different NADESs, curcumin solubility was found to be more in CM (1:1) ratio when compared to other NADESs.

Economical Feasibility

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs)—a promising class of alternatives to conventional ionic liquids (ILs) that have freezing points lower than the individual components—are typically formed from two or more components through hydrogen bond interactions. Due to the remarkable advantages of biocompatibility, economical feasibility and environmental hospitality, DESs show great potentials for green production and manufacturing. In terms of the processing of functional composite resins, DESs have been applied for property modifications, recyclability enhancement and functionality endowment. In this review, the applications of DESs in the processing of multiple functional composite resins such as epoxy, phenolic, acrylic, polyester and imprinted resins, are covered. Functional composite resins processed with DESs have attracted much attention of researchers in both academic and industrial communities. The tailored properties of DESs for the design of functional composite resins—as well as the effects of hydrogen bond on the current polymeric systems—are highlighted. In addition to the review of current works, the future perspectives of applying DESs in the processing of functional composite resins are also presented.

Four deep eutectic solvents (DESs), namely, glycerol/chlorocholine (glycerol/ChCl), urea/ChCl, citric acid/ChCl, and oxalic acid/ChCl, were synthesized and their performance in the dissolution of cellulose was studied. The results showed that the melting point of the DESs varied with the proportion of the hydrogen bond donor material. The viscosity of the DESs changed considerably with the change in temperature; as the temperature increased, the viscosity decreased and the electrical conductivity increased. Oxalic acid/ChCl exhibited the best dissolution effects on cellulose. The microscopic morphology of cellulose was observed with a microscope. The solvent system effectively dissolved the cellulose, and the dissolution method of the oxalic acid/ChCl solvent on cellulose was preliminarily analyzed. The ChCl solvent formed new hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl groups of the cellulose through its oxygen atom in the hydroxyl group and its nitrogen atom in the amino group. That is to say, after the deep eutectic melt formed an internal hydrogen bond, a large number of remaining ions formed a hydrogen bond with the hydroxyl groups of the cellulose, resulting in a great dissolution of the cellulose. Although the cellulose and regenerated cellulose had similar structures, the crystal form of cellulose changed from type I to type II.

Abstract Background Biobutanol is promising and renewable alternative to traditional fossil fuels and could be produced by Clostridium species from lignocellulosic biomass. However, biomass is recalcitrant to be hydrolyzed into fermentable sugars attributed to the densely packed structure by layers of lignin. Development of pretreatment reagents and processes for increasing surface area, removing hemicellulose and lignin, and enhancing the relative content of cellulose is currently an area of great interest. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs), a new class of green solvents, are effective in the pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass. However, it remains challenging to achieve high titers of total sugars and usually requires combinatorial pretreatment with other reagents. In this study, we aim to develop novel DESs with high application potential in biomass pretreatment and high biocompatibility for biobutanol fermentation. Results Several DESs with betaine chloride and ethylamine chloride (EaCl) as hydrogen bond acceptors were synthesized. Among them, EaCl:LAC with lactic acid as hydrogen bond donor displayed the best performance in the pretreatment of corncob. Only by single pretreatment with EaCl:LAC, total sugars as high as 53.5 g L−1 could be reached. Consecutive batches for pretreatment of corncob were performed using gradiently decreased cellulase by 5 FPU g−1. At the end of the sixth batch, the concentration and specific yield of total sugars were 58.8 g L−1 and 706 g kg−1 pretreated corncob, saving a total of 50% cellulase. Utilizing hydrolysate as carbon source, butanol titer of 10.4 g L−1 was achieved with butanol yield of 137 g kg−1 pretreated corncob by Clostridium saccharobutylicum DSM13864. Conclusions Ethylamine and lactic acid-based deep eutectic solvent is promising in pretreatment of corncob with high total sugar concentrations and compatible for biobutanol fermentation. This study provides an efficient pretreatment reagent for facilely reducing recalcitrance of lignocellulosic materials and a promising process for biobutanol fermentation from renewable biomass.

In the recent past few years, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were developed sharing similar characteristics to ionic liquids but with more advantageous features related to preparation cost, environmental impact, and efficiency for gas separation processes. Amongst many combinations of DES solvents that have been prepared, reline (choline chloride as the hydrogen bond acceptor mixed with urea as the hydrogen bond donor) was the first DES synthesized and is still the one with the lowest melting point. Choline chloride/urea DES has proven to be a promising solvent as an efficient medium for carbon dioxide capture when compared with amine alone or ionic liquids under the same conditions. This review sheds light on the preparation method, physical and chemical characteristics, and the CO2 absorption capacity of choline chloride/urea DES under different temperatures and pressures reported up to date.

The assembly of hydrogen bonded cages using amidinium∙∙∙carboxylate hydrogen bonding interactions was investigated. A new tris-amidinium hydrogen bond donor tecton based on a tetraphenylmethane scaffold was prepared and its self–assembly with the terephthalate anion studied, and a new tricarboxylate hydrogen bond acceptor tecton was synthesized and its assembly with the 1,3-benzenebis(amidinium) hydrogen bond donor explored. In both cases, molecular modelling indicated that the formation of the cages was geometrically feasible and 1H NMR spectroscopic evidence was consistent with interactions between the components in competitive d6- DMSO solvent mixtures. DOSY NMR spectroscopy of both systems indicated that both components diffuse at the same rate as each other, and diffusion coefficients were consistent with cage formation, and with the formation of assemblies significantly larger than the individual components. An X-ray crystal structure showed that one of the assemblies did not have the desired cage structure in the solid state

Natural Deep Eutectic Solvent

Eutectic mixture (EM) is as a mixture of more than one substance that does not interact individually to create a new entity but in a particular ratio that exhibits a lower range of melting point than it had in individual. EM should be formulated in such a way that it should have major advantages in pharmaceutical industries. EM can be a mixture of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), or different ratios of APIs and excipients, or various excipients. Deep eutectic solvents containing APIs (API-DES) considered as an innovative approach to form different APIs in the liquid state. This new approach of liquid form is versatile and plays an important role in drug delivery. The selection of ideal hydrogen bond-donor (HBD) and hydrogen bond-acceptor (HBA) is an essential parameter. Ionic liquids (IL), derivatives of deep eutectic solvents (DES) have got much attention since it can replace harmful organic solvent by their extraordinary properties. Therapeutic deep eutectic solvents (THEDESs) are considered to be an exceptional option in the advancement of biomedicine. This can be utilized for improvising drug solubility, bioavailability as well as drug permeation through the skin. Natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) can be considered as an alternate option, replacing harsh solvents. It has special characteristics of better biodegradability and biocompatibility. These NADES mainly used to separate and purification of natural compounds. This review focuses on the eutectic mixture and its application in the area of drug delivery systems, and pharmaceutical and pharmacological fields.
