Research demonstrates the synthesis of choline chloride-based solvents with citric and malic acids, indicating potential for pigment extraction in cosmetic applications.
This study focuses on the synthesis and characterization of Choline Chloride-based Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) using Citric Acid (ChCl+CA) and Malic Acid (ChCl+MA) as hydrogen bond donors. The DES were prepared at various molar ratios, and their physicochemical properties, including viscosity, density, pH, water content, and molecular interactions, were comprehensively analyzed. The FTIR spectroscopic analysis revealed key shifts in the functional groups, indicating strong hydrogen bonding between the DES components. While ChCl+CA and ChCl+MA successfully formed stable eutectic solvents at a 1:1 molar ratio, synthesis with higher molar ratios (1:2 and 1:3) and ChCl+Ethylene Glycol (ChCl+EG) were unsuccessful, highlighting the importance of component compatibility and molar ratios. The density and viscosity measurements showed the potential applicability of these DES in extraction processes. This research contributes to the development of DES as green solvents, with future applications in pigment extraction for cosmetic purposes.
