Brief Notes on Analytical Chemistry with Bio Solvents

Dr. Mika Omern

The use of green solvents,some of which are biobased,is one of the current developments in green analytical chemistry.The growth of the biorefinery idea has also made it possible to produce more biochemicals more effectively from a larger variety of feedstocks.Terpene, alcohol,and ester extractions were some of the early applications of biosolvents in analytical processes. However, numerous additional reports of the use of biosolvents in the extraction of bioactive chemicals from other plant materials have also been made, suggesting that there may be more analytical uses for them in the future. Additionally, it should be emphasised that not all biobased solvents used in analytical chemistry are environmentally friendly because some of them might be harmful to aquatic life.
