| Summary: | Replacement of volatile organic solvents with ionic liquids (ILs) in industrial applications
is a concerned matter and a trending approach. ILs became the choice of solvents due to
their merits such as low melting points (<100°C) and insignificant vapor pressure. Despite
being expansively investigated, ILs have not been intensively reviewed as eco-friendly
solvents for the halal industry, which is the concept of this mini review. ILs have been
used as surfactants, extractants for the purification of biomolecules, stabilizers for
enzymes and in biosensors applications. Regardless of the lack of data on the toxicity of
food products with ILs residues, low doses of ILs in in vitro tests did not lead to cell
damage. Moreover, several ILs have stabilizing effects on biomolecules such as enzymes
and proteins. Thus, new applications of ILs in the halal industry are feasible within the
concept of halalan tayyiban (lawful and safe, good, wholesome). |
