Toxicity test profile for deep eutectic solvents: A detailed review and future prospects

초록

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are preferable in terms of starting materials, storage and synthesis, simplicity, and component material affordability. In several industries ranging from chemical, electrochemical, biological, biotechnology, material science, etc., DES has demonstrated remarkable potential. Despite all these accomplishments, the safety issue with DES must be adequately addressed. Different DES interacts with the cellular membranes differently. It is not possible to classify all DES as easily biodegradable. By expanding the current understanding of the toxicity and biodegradation of DES, interactions between organisms and cellular membranes can be linked. The DES toxicity profile varies according to their concentration, the nature of the individual components, and how they interact with living things. Therefore, the results of this review can serve as a baseline for DES development in the future. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd
