Towards the sustainable extraction and purification of non-animal proteins from biomass using alternative solvents

Abstract

This review aims to assess the advances in protein extraction and separation from non-animal biomass using alternative solvents, namely ILs, and DESs. Also, the economic and environmental challenges of using such alternative solvents are discussed.

Eutectic solvents and low molecular weight gelators for next-generation supramolecular eutectogels: a sustainable chemistry perspective

“…20 A nuts-and-bolts example of the use of green metrics for solvent selection was reported by Kisanthia et al 21 Additionally, ESs are green extractants for natural products, pollutants, added value products from biomasses, waste etc. , 22 thus calling for the definition of sustainable protocols for analytical chemistry and principles of green analytical chemistry (GAC) 23 flanking the well-assessed green chemistry principles (GCPs). 24 The 12 GCPs and the 12 GAC principles are summarized in Tables S1 and S2,† respectively.…”

The sustainability onion: a panoramic view of a parent concept, its paths, and progeny

“…It is seen in the social sciences, natural sciences (physical and biological), and applied sciences. From the social science perspective, owing to the penetration of this terminology, we now have sustainable anthropology, 88 sustainable archaeology, 89 sustainable economics 90 sustainable geography, 91 sustainable criminology, 92 green chemistry, [93][94][95][96] which includes green solvents, 97 green chemical processes, [98][99][100] sustainable electrochemistry, 101 chemical recycling, 102 sustainable metallurgy, 103,104 sustainable compounds and materials [105][106][107] etc. Other sustainable elds include green ecology, 108 sustainable physics, 109 sustainable microbiology, 110 sustainable engineering, 111 sustainable technology, 112 sustainable agriculture, 113 which has agronomy as one of its strategies.…”

Prediction of Bleeding via Simulation of Hydrodynamics in Centrifugal Partition Chromatography

“…The system's polarity is adjustable with the help of solubilizers. This raises the relevance for Countercurrent Chromatography, as the partition coefficient for the samples of a given separation task becomes adjustable [16][17][18][19][20][21]. Further advantages are high loading capacities and total recovery of the products.…”
