Application



  • Extraction of Bioactive Compounds: Choline chloride, combined with sucrose in natural deep eutectic solvents, facilitates the formation of aqueous biphasic systems. These systems are applied in drug extraction processes to improve efficiency and selectivity, particularly in pharmaceutical applications (Ghaffari et al., 2024).


  • Extraction of α-Glucosidase Inhibitors: Utilizing choline chloride-based deep eutectic solvents significantly enhances the selective extraction of α-glucosidase inhibitors from waste seeds. This application is particularly valuable in the development of therapeutic agents for diabetes management, showcasing its versatility in pharmaceutical extraction processes (Liu et al., 2024).
