Performance of Choline‐Based Deep Eutectic Solvents in the Extraction of Tocols from Crude Palm Oil

Deep eutectic solvents are emerging green solvents that have potential in many separation processes. This study investigates the performance of choline‐based deep eutectic solvents in the extraction of tocopherols and tocotrienols (collectively known as tocols) from palm oil, a major natural source of tocols. Deep eutectic solvents comprised of choline chloride salt and selected carboxylic acids as hydrogen bond donors were prepared and used in...
