Abstract
Solvents prepared from natural terpenes (menthol and thymol), as H-bond acceptors, and a series of organic acids (chain lengths of 8, 10, and 14 C atoms), as H-bond donors, were characterized and tested as reaction media for liquid-liquid extraction purposes. Due to their high hydrophobicity, they seem to be promising alternatives to conventional (nonpolar and toxic) solvents, since they possess relatively less toxic, less volatile, and consequently, more environmentally friendly characteristics. Assuming that the equilibrium is established between solvent and analyte during a ligandless procedure, it can be concluded that those nonpolar solvents can efficiently extract nonpolar analytes from the aqueous environment. Previous investigations showed a wide range of applications, including their use as solvents in extractions of metal cations, small molecules, and bioactive compounds for food and pharmaceutical applications. In this work, hydrophobic solvents based on natural terpenes, which showed chemical stability and desirable physicochemical and thermal properties, were chosen as potential reaction media in the liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) procedure for Pb(II) removal from aqueous solutions. Low viscosities and high hydrophobicities of prepared solvents were confirmed as desirable properties for their application. Extraction parameters were optimized, and chosen solvents were applied. The results showed satisfactory extraction efficiencies in simple and fast procedures, followed by low solvent consumption. The best results (98%) were obtained by the thymol-based solvent, thymol-decanoic acid (Thy-DecA) 1:1, followed by L-menthol-based solvents: menthol-octanoic acid (Men-OctA) 1:1 with 97% and menthol-decanoic acid (Men-DecA) 1:1 with 94.3% efficiency.

Abstract
The occurrence of tigecycline (TGC), a new first glycylcycline antibiotic residues in food products harmfully influences potential human consumers health. Therefore, analysts are forced to develop new microextraction methods connected with modern extractants for effective isolation of this compound. For this purpose, deep eutectic solvents (DES) as the extraction media were used. Liquid-liquid microextraction (LLME) of tigecycline from milk samples with application of the hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents: decanoic acid:thymol (1:1), thymol:camphor (2:1), dodecanoic acid:menthol (2:1), and dodecanoic acid:dodecanol (1:1) was developed. The studied samples were subjected to a deproteinization process using trichloroacetic acid solution and acetonitrile. The optimal microextraction parameters, molar ratio of DES components, amount of extraction solvents, pH of milk sample, shaking, and centrifugation time, were chosen. Tigecycline in the obtained microextracts of deep eutectic solvents was analyzed using a liquid chromatographic technique connected with a tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) system. The limits of detection and quantification values for TGC determination followed by DES-LLME-LC-MS/MS method were in the 1.8 × 10-11 mol L-1 (0.01 μg kg-1) to 4.0 × 10-9 mol L-1 (2.28 μg kg-1) and 5.5 × 10-11 mol L-1 (0.03 μg kg-1) to 1.2 × 10-8 mol L-1 (6.84 μg kg-1) ranges, respectively. The RSD values of precision were in the range 1.4-7.8% (intraday) and 5.4-11.7% (interday). The developed procedures were used for the determination of tigecycline in different bovine milk samples.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are a class of sustainable solvents that have found numerous applications in different fields. One of their main attributes is the possibility of easily modifying their physicochemical properties by varying the type of hydrogen bond donor (HBD) and hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) that comprise them. Choline chloride ([Ch+][Cl-])-based hydrophilic DESs were among the first studied and the most used because of their capacity to easily create a hydrogen bonding network that lies in its unique chemical structure, characterized by a hydroxyl substituent within the ammonium headgroup. In this study, a new class of hydrophobic [Ch+][Br-]-modified salts were synthesized to produce HBAs with similar properties to choline for the preparation of hydrophobic DESs. Six different [Ch+][Br-]-based HDESs were prepared and characterized in terms of hydrophobicity, viscosity, and solvation properties (hydrogen bonding, dispersion, dipolarity/polarizability, n-π, and π-π interactions). They were employed as solvents in a microextraction method for the determination of phytochemicals in Cannabis sativa L. plant. The extraction performance of the [Ch+][Br-]-based HDESs was compared to eutectic mixtures based on conventional hydrophobic HBAs, and the results revealed that the unique properties of [Ch+][Br-]-modified salts allowed for the extraction of both hydrophilic (i.e., flavonoids) and hydrophobic compounds (i.e., cannabinoids).

Abstract
Due to their low cost, biodegradability, and ease of preparation, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are considered promising green alternatives to conventional solvents, as exploiting green solvents has been a research focus for achieving sustainable development goals. Most DESs in published studies are hydrophilic. On the other hand, the DES's hydrophilicity restricts its practical applicability to just polar molecules, which is a vital disadvantage to this extractant. Hydrophobic DES (HDES) has been developed as a new extractant adept at extracting nonpolar inorganic and organic compounds from aqueous systems. Although there has been little research on HDESs (HDES publications account for <10% of DES), specific intriguing applications have been discovered, requiring investigation and comparisons. As a result, this review covers the applications of emerging HDES in detecting pesticide residues, food additives, contaminants in food packaging, heavy metals, separation and extraction processes in food. According to the available literature, HDESs have the potential to overcome the limitations of hydrophilic DESs and be used in a broader range of applications in food with greater efficiency, which has received little attention. HDES is expected to substitute a lot of harmful organic extractants used for analytical reasons (food chemistry) in the future. Besides, the limitations of HDES were reviewed, and future studies were provided. This will serve as a reference for green chemistry advocates and practitioners in food science who want to minimize pollution and improve efficiency and benefit from the further development of HDESs.

Abstract
In this study, several novel and natural hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (D.E.Ss) were prepared using methyl trioctylammonium chloride (M.T.O.A.C) as H.B.A and different types of straight chain alcohols as H.B.Ds. One of the D.E.Ss composed of M.T.O.A.C and n-butanol was advantageously used to develop an ultrasound-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (U.A-D.L.L.M.E) method combined with high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection (H.P.L.C-U.V) for the determination of some strobilurin fungicides in apple samples. Several important parameters influencing extraction efficiency were investigated and optimised, including the type and volume of extractant in ultrasound stage, sonication time, the type and volume of D.E.S, sample solution pH and effect of salt addition. Under optimal experimental conditions, the method showed good linearity with correlation coefficients (R2) of 0.9985 - 0.9991 in the linear range of 4-1500 μg kg-1, low limits of detection of 1.5-2 μg kg-1 and acceptable extraction recoveries in the range of 76-92%. Enrichment factor was in the range of 95-115. The proposed method was successfully applied for the extraction and preconcentration of trace fungicides in apple samples, and the results demonstrated the potential of the synthesised D.E.S for the extraction and determination of contaminants in aqueous samples.

Abstract
Hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (DES) have recently been used as green alternatives to conventional solvents in several applications. In addition to their tunable melting temperature, the viscosity of DES can be optimized by selecting the constituents and molar ratio. This study examined the viscosity of 14 eutectic systems formed by natural substances over a wide range of temperatures and compositions. The eutectic systems in this study were classified as ideal or non-ideal based on their solid–liquid equilibria (SLE) data found in the literature. The eutectic systems containing constituents with cyclohexyl rings were considerably more viscous than those containing linear or phenyl constituents. Moreover, the viscosity of non-ideal eutectic systems was higher than that of ideal eutectic systems because of the strong intermolecular interactions in the liquid solution. At temperatures considerably lower than the melting temperature of the pure constituents, non-ideal and ideal eutectic systems with cyclohexyl constituents exhibited considerably high viscosity, justifying the kinetic limitations in crystallization observed in these systems. Overall, understanding the correlation between the molecular structure of constituents, SLE, and the viscosity of the eutectic systems will help in designing new, low-viscosity DES.

Abstract
Triterpenic acids (TTAs), known for their promising biological properties, can be found in different biomass sources and related by-products, such as Eucalyptus globulus bark, and have been extracted using organic volatile solvents such as dichloromethane. Recently, deep eutectic solvents (DES) have been identified as promising alternatives for the extraction of value-added compounds from biomass. In the present work, several hydrophobic DES were tested for the extraction of TTAs from E. globulus bark. Initial solubility studies revealed that DES based on menthol and thymol as the most promising solvents for these compounds given the highest solubilities obtained for ursolic acid (UA) at temperatures ranging from room temperature up to 90 °C. Accordingly, an eutectic mixture of menthol:thymol (1:2) was confirmed as the best candidate for the TTAs extraction from E. globulus outer bark, leading to extraction yields (weight of TTA per weight of biomass) at room temperature of 1.8 wt% for ursolic acid, 0.84 wt% for oleanolic acid and 0.30 wt% for betulinic acid. These values are significantly higher than those obtained with conventional organic solvents under similar conditions. The results obtained using these DES are promising for the recovery of TTAs for nutraceutical and pharmacological applications, while reinforcing the potential of DES as promising solvents to be applied in biorefinery processes.
