Abstract

In-depth studies of the extraction mechanism using deep eutectic solvents (DES), especially extraction through the formation of a deep eutectic system (DESys), revealed commonalities between the DES- and ionic liquids (IL)-based extraction systems. New applications of ILs and DES for extraction of nutritional natural products were presented. In this study, the extraction behavior of choline chloride (ChCl) and 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([HMIm][Cl]) in DES and IL, respectively, in mechanochemical extraction of target compounds from Moringa oleifera leaves was systematically studied. The results suggested that both extraction methods were based on the formation of a DESys, either a normal DESys or an IL DESys. Considering the DESys-based one-step extraction improves the extraction efficiency and reduces the preparation time, the same idea can be used in IL for performance improvement. By formation of a new IL deep eutectic system based on hydrogen bond interaction in extraction, similar improvement was obtained.
