Abstract

Deep eutectic solvent (DES), emerging as a novel generation of green solvents, due to their simple preparation process, minimal toxicity, biodegradability, and other advantageous characteristics, can overcome the limitations of traditional organic solvents.Consequently, DES serve as excellent alternatives to conventional organic reagents.This paper presents a comprehensive review of the most recent research findings in the field of DES, including the composition categorization, preparation techniques, performance parameters, and its advancements in natural product extraction, food testing and analysis, as well as catalytic reaction media.This review summarizes the concerned issues currently associated with DES, while also prognosticating potential future applications.This work offers a valuable reference for further exploration of the biochemical characteristics of green solvent systems and their practical applications.
