Encyclopedia of Ionic Liquids

Introduction

Food consumption increases proportionally with the human population, and the prospect is that by 2050, the world population will reach 9.1 billion [1]. Therefore, optimization of processes for food production as well as the utilization of by-products for supplements becomes necessary [2]. In the current food system, industrial processes transport an immense variety and amount of products, which have a huge impact on the Earth’s natural resources [3]. Thus, it is increasingly necessary to develop sustainable techniques within this field. In the context of the global scenario, due to the growth of renewable production demands that can mitigate the impacts on the environment and health, the green chemistry flourishes as one of the novelties of modern science. Among the protagonists of this science, ionic liquids (ILs) stand out as being highly efficient solvents in the extraction of bioactive compounds. The ILs may be described as organic salts which are liquid in room...
