The consumption of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), especially eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n-3), have some therapeutic impacts on human health. The combination of ionic liquids (ILs) with MAE revealed significant attention in comparison to conventional toxic solvents for biomass lipi...
