Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADESs) for the Extraction of Bioactive Compounds from Quinoa (<i>Chenopodium quinoa</i> Willd.) Leaves: A Semi-Quantitative Analysis Using High Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography.

ABSTRACT: Natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs) have emerged as a promising eco-friendly alternative to petrochemicals for extracting plant metabolites. Considering that the demand for sustainable "green" ingredients for industrial applications is growing, those solvents are purported to develop extracts with interesting phytochemical fingerprints and biological activities. Given the interest in flavonoids from Chenopodium quinoa Willd. leaves, an efficient "green" extraction method was developed by investigating eight NADESs with defined molar ratios, i.e., malic acid-choline chloride (chcl)-water (w) (1:1:2, N1), chcl-glucose-w (5:2:5, N2), proline-malic acid-w (1:1:3, N3), glucose-fructose-sucrose-w (1:1:1:11, N4), 1,2-propanediol-chcl-w (1:1:1, N5), lactic acid-glucose-w (5:1:3, N6), gl
