“…These properties have led to NADES replacing ionic liquids in many applications, as the usage of ionic liquids in foods and pharmaceuticals is generally avoided nowadays because of their potential toxicity [21, 22]. The field of applications of natural deep eutectic solvents is very broad, and includes for example the dissolution of DNA [11, 12], acting as media for enzyme reactions [23], biotransformations [24], biomass processing [25], the stabilization of pigments [16], and various extractions [26–29]. The pharmaceutical industry is another field in which NADES can be extremely useful; for instance, they can be used to improve the solubility of drugs that are poorly soluble in water [30, 31] and to enhance the bioactivities of dissolved species [32].…”
