Abstract
Environmentally friendly ionic solvents such as (a) ionic liquids (ILs) formulated with hydroxyl ammonium cations and various carboxylic acid anions and (b) choline chloride or ethyl ammonium chloride-based deep eutectic solvents (DES) were tested as media for hydrolytic and synthetic reactions catalysed by lipase-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers. The nature of ionic solvents used has a significant effect on the hydrolytic and synthetic activity of the immobilized lipase, as well as on its stability and reusability. In choline chloride-based DES, the activity and especially the operational stability of the biocatalyst are significantly increased compared to those observed in buffer, indicating the potential application of these solvents as green media for various biocatalytic processes of industrial interest.
